This is one of Pacino's best performances. He really looks the part of an alcoholic, burned out cop. In most of the scenes it actually looks like he is fighting a hangover. The plot is ok (people who answer personal ads are being killed while the song Sea Of Love is playing), but it's actually the characters and atmosphere that make the film enjoyable. John Goodman puts in a good performance as Pacino's partner and Ellen Barkin is very sexy. Look for Samuel L Jackson in a brief role at the start of the film.
