Sea Of Love marks Al's big return to the screen, in probably not the best pic, after that dud, Revolution. He plays a cop who's working a serial killer case where supposedly a female killer out there is killing guys, who have answered to these lonely hearts ads. Each victim is found, bare naked on their stomach, with the song Sea Of Love, playing on an L P, nearby. He falls in love with a suspect, Ellen Barkin, who's never looked hotter. By having her as a living on the edge, dangerous, and private character, who like she says "Does things on impulse", we are frequently suppose to believe it's her. May'be it really is. While Sea Of Love manages to be very entertaining, with Al in an interesting comeback of character I like, there are much better thrillers out there, where as a thriller this wasn't special, but the fun of the movie is seeing if Pacino is walking into his own coffin. To make it us throw more suspicion on Barkin', two many coincidences and actions are thrown in, a stray gun, and throwing Pacino up against a wall, for starters, etc. The movie though is an old and one of those entertaining watches, and Barkin's character, if not believable the character, itself, is one of a kind.
