Sea of Love

1989

Directed by Harold Becker

Deception is dangerous. Desire is deadly.

Seen-it-all New York detective Frank Keller is unsettled - he has done twenty years on the force and could retire, and he hasn't come to terms with his wife leaving him for a colleague. Joining up with an officer from another part of town to investigate a series of murders linked by the lonely hearts columns he finds he is getting seriously and possibly dangerously involved with Helen, one of the main suspects.

Review by Cecily ★★★½ 5

when al pacino said "I'm everyone's daddy", I felt that
Review by John Frankensteiner ★★★½ 4

It's become such a boring cliché to be over the age of 30 and pose the question: Remember when they used to make films for adults? But it's impossible to watch Sea of Love and not think this the entire duration. Ostensibly a cop movie whodunnit, its success as a film comes more from the care in developing truly adult characters with adult problems: Pacino, pushing 50, Barkin pushing 40; their very real anxiety of being middle aged, having nothing to show for it, and feeling like they're running out of time to do anything about it. There is such melancholy and desperation in them (Pacino has devastation in his eyes for like 80% of the movie) and the boozed…

never seen horny and scared captured so well as Al Pacino in this

al pacino gets pegged
Review by David Sims ★★★½ 1

bodegas are definitely the best place to stage your sexy roleplaying
Review by S ★★★½

al pacino being a whore and looking sexy for two hours straight what’s there not to love?
Review by William Cooper ★★★½ 2

Prior to the release of this film, Al Pacino hadn't been in a movie in 4 years, and that was Revolution, perhaps his worst ever. It almost felt like maybe we were losing Pacino from films and then Sea of Love came along and reminded people why this man was such a force in films to begin with. While Sea of Love may not be a great movie - it certainly can't decide what it wants to be from scene to scene - it's enjoyable and memorable because of Pacino. It gave us back one of the great film actors of all time and for that, I'll always remember this movie fondly.
Review by Ian West ★★★½ 2

80's thriller featuring Al Pacino, Ellen Barkin, John Goodman, Micheal Rooker, William Hickey, Richard Jenkins, John Spencer and Samuel L. Jackson???? Solid movie, but if I’m being honest I wish Brian De Palma directed this.
Also wtf is up with Pacino's "James Bond" pose in the movie poster lmao.
Review by Filipe Coutinho ★★★½ 1

Pacino’s crocodile-themed shower curtain is something to behold. Check it out here and here.
Review by logan ★★★ 1

Al Pacino is that guy in your women's studies class that has been waiting all day to talk about how he gets pegged by his girlfriend and subverts the patriarchy through being a butt fiend
Review by Christian Di Leo ★★★½

Daddy Pacino is on the hunt for a serial killer who uses the personal ads to attract potential victims. During the investigation, he falls hard in love with the beautiful Helen, played by Ellen Barkin, who is progressively becoming the prime suspect. I had an absolute ball with Sea Of Love. It's an erotic thriller with a sexy saxophone score and 80s NYC nightlife, so it's 1000% right up my alley. As a big fan of the mystery/thriller genre, I always get excited when going into one that i've never seen before, I love going along with the thrills and the twists and the turns. Who is the killer gonna be and what is there motive? That shit keeps me…
