As a Pacino fan, I love anything Pacino does. However, I found the scenes in the male gay bars hard to take and too graphic, although I know they represent reality. The suspense and feeling of dread as each murder unfolds is intense and rivets one to the movie. Definitely not for the faint of heart! Pacino is great in this role and his portrayal of a young, very manly undercover cop chooseing to place himself in such a situation in order to catch a killer speaks of his great ability/talent as an actor.
Amazing, controversial film. Absolutely captivating, ambiguous story who did it?...beautifully directed by legendary film maker William Friedkin, a must-have for any fan of his work -- classic cinema!

Youve never seen Mr Pachino in a role like this before. Make sure you watch the special features. It explains that the movie was based on true life events. If you cant handle homosexuality, dont watch it. But if you can get past all that, this movie was way before its time. So if you like Al Pachino and big city murder flicks, this is one to watch.
Contrary to many's believe, this film higly critized by gay activist and conservative groups when it was released (wao gays and conservatives united!, what a scene!)it was one of Hollywood's first venture of the gay subculture of the seventies and early eighties to mainstream american viewers. It is a fact that this is not Pacino's finest performance, however the film depicts a section and time of our society and the taboos of the time. If at all, this movie, it's producers, and Pacino himself took up a theme not even popular today in mainstream America 25-30 years later.
