A few words about...™ Sea of Love -- in HD
Sea of Love, from Universal, is a thriller that holds up nicely after 18 years.
As an HD release, it looks far superior to it's SD counterpart, but as a gritty film, shot with a generally underexposed look, isn't going to be anyone's HD test film.
And it isn't meant to be.
What it is, is a reasonably accurate representation of what director Harold Becker's work looked like on film.
A couple of points that I noted while considering this film.
Mr. Becker and Mr. Pacino are apparently moving forward toward a 2009 release of a remake of the 1955 caper film, Rififi. Rififi would be their third project together.
If one reads down into the list of credits -- 19th billing to be exact -- for Sea of Love, you'll note a character named "Black Guy."
"Black Guy" is played by a young actor named Samuel L. Jackson. It was Mr. Jackson's 8th appearance in a film.
Remarkably, he now has over 80 to his credit.
Sea of Love remains enjoyable entertainment, which is worth your 113 minutes.
Recommended.
