Sea of Love 4K 1989

Midlife crisis is a serious thing. Every man in this period experiences certain life difficulties, to fight with which a lot of strength and health is spent. Any psychological blow at this time can have fatal consequences. Detective Keller especially clearly experiences all the vicissitudes of this short-term obstacle in a man's life path - his wife goes to another, because she can no longer tolerate the depressive state of her husband, at work problems, because the employees are also unable to understand the character of Keller, and the work itself does not bring any satisfaction, and Frank every time silently counting down the hours and minutes until the end of the day to get home as soon as possible. And at home - an empty room, silence and loneliness ...

At this time, a certain homicidal maniac commits a chain of mysterious murders on sexual grounds. The victims of the maniac are middle-aged men. The piquancy of these atrocities gives the fact that they are all committed during sexual intercourse, and the police find corpses with a bullet in the head in the same position. Who is behind it - it is up to Detective Keller and his partner Sherman to figure out. They come up with a great plan, and it would have worked for sure, but Frank Keller has spun a serious affair with one of the would-be killers...

Filmed a few years before 'Basic Instinct', 'Sea of Love' surpasses it in literally everything. Inimitable atmosphere, intriguing plot, great acting skills of the main characters, excellent work of the director and cameraman, spectacle, music, style.... Everything is on top!

With all its look, Harold Becker's movie brings the viewer back to the early 90's, at a time when the thriller genre was experiencing the peak of its glory. What a pleasure it is to watch the already matured Pacino and revealed Goodman. The modus operandi of their characters evokes only positive emotions. They're not superheroes, they don't save humanity, they don't act like super brave knights - they just do their jobs. The way ordinary police officers really should.

After several years of absence on the big screen, Alfredo Pacino appeared before the audience in a completely different image. Every time I am amazed at his skill. This is who, indeed, an actor with a capital letter! His characters are always equally good and differently susceptible. Bravo!

Ellen Barkin is a femme fatale! Able to drive any man crazy. And that she succeeds perfectly. Together with Pacino they made the most charming acting duo in Hollywood.

I recommend everyone to watch this movie, because 'Sea of Love' is a real thriller. This is exactly what a movie of this genre should be.
