This film is one of those film where they grab your attention so quickly that you'll forget everything else.This film also signifies Al pacino's comeback to 'good movies'.Before Sea Of Love,Al Pacino was already a legend,appearing in 'The Godfather' & 'The Godfather Part 2' as one of the most memorable character in film history, Micheal Corleone.Also appearing in great films like 'Serpico','Dog Day Afternoon' and who could forget,the most ridiculously significant role as Tony Montana in 'Scarface'.
But he also appeared in some films that brought down his name,some films that a famous actor like him shouldn't be in.Don't worry, he is back now in Sea Of Love.
In Manhattan, Detective Frank Keller (Al Pacino) is an efficient and veteran cop with twenty years on the force,who is lonely and misses his ex-wife Denise.She left him to live with his colleague from the same precinct Gruber (Richard Jenkins).
When a killer kills his victim with a shot on the neck and leaves a single playing "Sea of Love",Frank is in charge of the investigation. Detective Sherman, from a district outside Manhattan,joins Frank when a second victim is killed in the same MO.
They find that both victims have written poetry in the lonely hearts column of the single magazine "New York Weekly".When there is a third case,Frank convinces his chief to write for the magazine and work undercover investigating the women that reply the advertisement.Frank fall in love for the prime suspect, the manager of a shoe store Helen Cruger (Ellen Barkin), jeopardizing his investigation. |
