_Movie Review_
During I hi* movie it seems
(hat Pacino's c haracter. Frank
heller, chinks a quart of vvhis
ke\ . smokes eight cartons of
cigarettes and (experience's
more stress than to of I .a (>uar
dia s air traffic controllers com
liinecl Hut it 's Pat ino. an
Amei n an si reen lilac k sheep
that makes this c harac ter c omc
alive He gives an honest, pas
sion.ite and true performance
and he gives movie goers some
one to care about, someone to
feel lor
It is annin ing that a man
w ilh so nun h talent has not
made a good film in five \cars
I le took a chain e with this
film, vvhic It on the surfac e
seems ver\ mainstream and not
altogethei original. Hut lie
pulled it oft. .mil he is a re
inindei of w hat it lakes to be a
good ac tin It t.ikes guts and
Pac ino s got a belli lull of Cm
because of the performances
of Harkin and Pac ino. .Sea ul
l.i)10 is a ste.um he.id pound
ing heart stopping thriller
vvhic h i\ ill put audienc es off
guard and entertain them as
well.
