the movie be about two story represent one be a political murder of a call girl and the other an upper class political party . the crossing point be the public relation character play by al paccino and a he be the witness of the crime and the instigator of the evening . if the script be terrible without any decent dialog and the direct void of any sense of drama and the performance of al be memorable represent how many fellow can be as much convincing a a powerful and fear man ( a the godfather ) as here a a little servant ( see also donnie brasco ) . actually and the big young lion have become a tired old one . this passing of age be very moving and because it make the audience ponders about get old too . but his slowness be only a make up because he can get back his energy in church scene . maybe it be a good thing that the movie be so awful because it put the starlight on al talent .
