A detective (Warren Beatty) wrestles with master-criminals and the problem of committing himself to the woman he loves (Glenne Headly).
Reviewed by Chris Tookey


Great visuals, shame about the script. Young Charlie Korsmo, Glenne Headly and an unrecognizable Al Pacino do their best to give the dreary narrative some human interest and humour; but Warren Beatty gives a lacklustre performance in the lead. Beatty's girl-friend of the time, Madonna, isn't up to the job of being a femme fatale, or singing Stephen Sondheim's songs, which are far from his best - even though one, Sooner or Later, won an Oscar. Art direction and makeup also won Academy Awards. Vittorio Storaro's cinematography, the costume design and sound were all nominated.
