Frank - Al Pacino - has just reached his 20th year with the NYPD. This milestone brings no joy, as his wife left him for a colleague. However, a new case captures his attention. A man is found facedown in bed, bullet to his skull, with an old 45 record playing Sea of Love on the turntable. A second case exactly the same is found. One key common denominator is both men placed rhyming personal ads in the paper. Then a third man is killed. Placing a poetic personal ad for the Dept, Frank interviews women who answer. One is Helen - Ellen Barkin - who attracts Frank romantically. She couldn't be a killer, huh ? This creepy thriller has two good stars, a decent script and a theme song which gives everyone goosebumps along the way. Most mystery film lovers will find this one a good view.
