Amazingly Pacino only made five films in the eighties and along with Scarface this is his best effort. He plays Frank Keller, a detective whose wife has left him for a colleague.
A serial killer is on the loose and the Police believe the culprit is a female. Teaming up with Detective Sherman (John Goodman) they set up blind dates to track down the suspect. In comes Ellen Barkin as Helen Cruger, could she be the killer?. Obviously Pacino and Barkin become romantically involved, but because the acting is so good the viewer tosses away the daftness of the storyline. Whilst both leads are great credit to Goodman for being the comedy the film needs and not overdoing it.
