First time seeing this (believe it or not), and the thing that I wasn't expecting and found most striking was the quintessential early-80s-ness of it. Set in the early 80s and made in the early 80s, this is a rare snapshot of this slick, glossy, shiny, dynamic, care-free period in time. Al Pacino, playing, well ... , Al Pacino, is outstanding as ever. Probably an unintentional comedy moment on the disco dancefloor is Michelle Pfeiffer doing something that I guess is supposed to be dancing, but you can be the judge of that. A film-lover's film - for the hell of it.
