Movie Reviews of Sea of Love [HD DVD]
Movie Review: Lonesome Town
Summary: 5 Stars
Al Pacino returned to the movies after a long self-imposed absence with this Harold Becker thriller and simply exploded back into American cinema. A moody, pulsating score, a lonely city at night atmosphere, and the sexy Ellen Barkin helped to create a very suspenseful and exciting film.
Someone is placing personals and killing the men who respond. She is leaving the old '45 "Sea of Love" playing at every murder scene. Pacino and his partner, John Goodman, decide to place their own personal ad, hoping one of the women who shows up will be their doll. But things are about to heat up and take a direction that might prove to be the final wrong turn for the very lonely Pacino.
Ellen Barkin portrays a single mom hotter than New York during summer who is one of many answering the ad Pacino has placed. She blows him off at first when there are no sparks but when he gets a second chance it is a volcanic eruption. Pacino failed to follow procedure, however, and get her prints for elimination. Both Pacino and the viewer begin to wonder if that mistake will cost him his life. Barkin is dynamite, but may also be the killer.
Much of this film is about mistrust and suspicion. Pacino is excellent as the desperately lonely detective trying to move on from his divorce. It does not help in the least that his former wife's new love is a cop he must see every day. Goodman is also fine as the partner trying to get him back up the mountain but hoping he doesn't freefall. When Pacino discovers all the victims knew Barkin, the mountain becomes sheer and icy.
There is genuine electricity between Pacino and Barkin you can almost feel like the sun on your face. One very hot scene takes place in a supermarket late at night while Sade's band instrumental "Siempre Hay Esperanza" from her "Stronger Than Pride" album plays in the background. This may indeed have all been done before, but never better than here.
Every guy who has ever been messed up over a girl and walked the streets of a lonely city full of people will understand and embrace the feel of this film. The score provides good ambiance to the disconnected atmosphere of this exciting thriller. It may only be entertainment, but it's great entertainment thriller fans don't want to miss.
