Sea of Love Reviews and Ratings



  • June 22, 2008
    worst Pacino movie I've ever seen
  • June 22, 2008
    Honestly, I wasn't so sure about this movie when I picked it up, but I ended up really liking it.

    Sea of Love works better as a character study of Al Pacino's high-strung, overworked cop character than an actual thriller. Even though the film lacks suspense and is formulaic in its structure, Al Pacino still gives a good performance which makes the film enjoyable to watch.

    Great performance by Al Pacino once again in this thriller about a killer on the loose. John Goodman had a decent role altho im more use to see him in comedies. There is not much to say more then if u like Al Pacino and thrillers this one wont fail u. Enjoy

    Not one of Pacino's better films.

    Sea of Love is one of the few movies with a surprising twist at the end that is actually better with each watch. Normally, once you know the twist to a suspense movie, there's little interesting about the movie. But in the case of the Sea of Love, as I've gotten older, I've com...( read more)e to appreciate this movie. When I first saw this movie, I was in my college years and found the movie to be a tacky "mid life crisis" movie. But now that I am at the age of Al Pacino's character in this movie, I strongly identify with the vulnerability his and Ellen Barkin's characters are going thru.

    The chemistry between Pacino and Barkin is seductive, charming, very passionate, and deeply believeable.

    The movie is written so that you think Ellen Barkin is the killer; but, if you watch the movie knowing that she isn't the killer, the dynamics between Pacino and Barkin sky-rockets into cinematic perfection. The romantic ending to this movie is deeply felt. The supporting characters are also fascinating too. There are lot of well known leading actors in this movie playing secondary roles. There's the "dead father" from six feet under, who plays the man who marry's Pacino's ex-wife, there's Pacino's sidekick played by the man who is Rosanne Barr's wife from the "Rosanne" show. Then, there's a very small role by Samuel Jackson. Throughout the movie, there are many light appearances that appear to be famous actor cameos when they are famous actors when they were obscure.

    Pacino's performance is oscar-worthy. I really feel his character's "wash out and disillusioned with life" persona.

    This is my favorite movie of all time to watch late on a Sunday night when you know you have a lot of work to do the next morning, but you just want time to slow down for a change.

    Very sensual yet awesome!

    this movie's a really good romantic thriller, with a beautiful title song and of course great performances. Al looked great in this as usual
  • January 10, 2008
    Al Pacino shines in this movie,but sea of love isn't one of his great movies.This movie has a great plot,but the director can't make a great movie from it.
  • January 9, 2008
    Al's 80's comeback poised him for the work he was about to do. This is a great film for fans still wanting to learn more about him. A riveting erotic thriller pitting Pacino against a never sexier Ellen Barkin. Scoop this one up as fast as you can.

    I watch this movie in cinemax... yah.. not bad but very poor for al standard
  • January 5, 2008
    Call me crazy, but I enjoyed this - it's sort of an elevated B-movie.
  • December 30, 2007
    Pretty solid little Serial Killer flick that was Al Pacino's comeback project. Clever characters and getting to look at Ellen Barkin make this a very watchable genre gem.

    Haven't Seen it butt looks cool
  • November 15, 2007
    I can't say exactly what it is, but it's something that bothers me with it. I've bought most of Pacinos movies, but this is not on my list.

  • July 7, 2007
    The love scenes are steamyyyyy!!!!
  • July 7, 2007
    Wanna fall in love with Pacino? then this is the movie. After a well deserved 5-year hiatus, this was his 1989 comeback for one of the few decently made movies in the sex-thriller genre.
  • July 2, 2007
    Well not the best Pacino movie, but better than the crap he is doing now and above what was coming out for awhile before this movie. Very good acting from Pacino and was nice to see another role from John Goodman. The plot isn't really anything new, but the performances seem to m...( read more)ake it refreshing. Al Pacino fans should give it a try. Also, by fan, I mean you knew of Pacino before MTV Cribs.
  • June 16, 2007
    seedy but good thriller.
  • June 8, 2007
    The predecessor to Basic Instinct. Good cop meets psycho sexpot. Good cop tries to keep from getting killed. The end.
  • June 2, 2007
    By the numbers thriller saved by Pacino and Barkin.Very human edge, with a smart script by Price.
  • May 21, 2007
    A great cop thriller. Very steamy, similar to In the cut.
  • May 9, 2007
    really do like everyone needs to watch it once
  • May 4, 2007
    The ulitimate cheat ending.
  • May 3, 2007
    A washed up detective tries to catch a serial killer who is focused on women. Can you guess who Al plays?
  • May 2, 2007
    Good movie. I saw it with my uncle back when i was a kid and he made me turn my head. Finally I decided to watch it and see what I missed. Yeah, it was worth it... not only for that but I am now able to appreciate Al Pacino's acting as well as John Goodman's character's joviality.
