SINOPSIS: Un hombre ha muerto asesinado, desnudo y en la cama, de un tiro en la nuca. Frank, el policía encargado del caso, supone que lo ha matado una mujer. Un compañero que lleva un crimen exactamente igual le reafirma en su teoría. Las dos víctimas habían puesto sendos anuncios en verso en una revista de contacto. Un tercer hombre, que también utilizó la publicación para buscar citas y lo hizo, asimismo, mediante un poema, muere del mismo modo que los otros dos. Ahora, los policías, solo tienen un camino que, tal vez les lleve hasta el criminal: se anunciarán en verso en la misma revista. Synopsis Al Pacino gives a critically acclaimed performance in this highly charged erotic thriller. Veteran New York City Police detective Frank Keller (Pacino) is a workaholic living on the edge. Joining forces with detective Sherman Touhey (John Goodman) to track down a bizarre serial killer, he encounters a beautiful suspect (Ellen Barkin). Convinced of her innocence, Keller enters into a passionate affair, despite hard evidence linking her to the murders. Mounting suspense leads to a surprising conclusion in this stylish chiller from director Harold Becker.

4.0 out of 5 stars Holy Cow! Pacino Power!!, March 27, 2005

This movie rocks! I was so happy to see Pacino again after a much to long absence. Why is it that we never appreciate a person and their talent when there around more often? Pacino is just incrediable in this movie and his pairing with Ellen Barkin is perfect. They definitely go on that list of dynamic on-screen couples. I also enjoyed Pacino and Goodman as partners, but than again I find that Al Pacino is one of those actors that seems to bring out the best in whomever he's working with. The movie never falters for me from beginning to end. Its intense, exciting, humorous and of course sexy. Everyone involved in making this movie ( especially the director and writer ) should be proud. Sea Of Love is a classic!

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware - full screen version cropped to fit widescreen, May 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Sea of Love (Collector's Edition) (DVD)

This version (Collector's Edition)
is worse than the previous pan & scan full screen version. Here the studio cropped the top and the sides of the full screen version to make it fit anamorphic widescreen format, so you lose more of the picture than the full screen version.
Universal is deceptive in not saying it is a matted widescreen version Buyer beware!
This is not a true widescreen and doesent even say that the original apect ratio was modified to fit 16x9 tvs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really scary, really sexy, really really good, December 17, 2003

Damn, this one keeps you on the edge of your seat. Pacino plays a NYPD detective who falls in love with Ellen Barkin, a woman who's the main suspect in a murder case he's investigating. The mix of suspicion, fear, and sexual arousal is enough to keep the most jaded viewer riveted to the screen, wondering who or what will break first. The chemistry between Pacino and Barkin is intense enough to make the love scenes qualify as some of the hottest of the era.
Super-duper in every way. Wow.
