much a we all love al pacino and it be painful to see him in this movie . a publicity hack at the grubby end of what seem to have once be a distinguish and idealistic career pacino play his part look like an unmade bed and assault everyone with a totally bogus and inconsistent southern accent . the plot spool out this way and that with so many loose end and improbability that the mind reel ( and then retreat ) . kim basinger be there and not do much . her scene with pacino be flat and unconvincing . hard to believe they mean a lot to each other . there no energy there . tea leone and on the other hand and light up the screen . she be electric and her scene with pacino be by far the most interesting in the movie and but not enough to save al from embarrassment .
