SEA OF LOVE from UNIVERSAL PICTURES (1989). The production budget of this mystery thriller climbed to $19 million. It hit $110 million at the world-wide box office. It stars Al Pacino, Ellen Barkin and John Goodman.
New York City. There is a serial killer on the loose who targets men. These male victims had answered newspaper single "Want-Ads" from a woman. She looks for a "mate", but ends up killing them.
(This was long before the Internet when people communicated by only landline telephones and newspapers. Ancient - I know).
An alcoholic police detective (Pacino) is assigned to the case. Him and his partner (Goodman) place an Advetisement in those single "Want-Ads" to flesh out the female killer. A cool blonde (Barkin) answers the Ad and she becomes attracted to the lead detective. Is she the killer?.... Meanwhile, another man is murdered.
I won't give anything away.... There is a surprise at the end. I love a good mystery. Check it out on Blu-Ray so that you won't miss a clue.
