Because he resembles the murder victims, a policeman (Al Pacino) is sent undercover into the S&M gay sex clubs of NYC to flush out a serial killer, but forget the danger posed by a brutal knife-wielding maniac — what effect will all the gyrating mustachioed bears in leather — with whips, chaps, handcuffs and gimp masks — not to mention coffee dates with a new gay neighbour, have on the young policeman and upon the relationship he has with his girlfriend (Karen Allen), left-in-the-dark about her lover's undercover nocturnal adventures...you'll never know because although there is one fleeting scene that suggests the policeman willingly gets trussed up in masochistic fashion and a line of dialogue that suggests the couple's love life has changed, the movie prefers to skirt ambiguously, frustratingly around this pivotal and at-the-time sensational subject matter.
★★★☆☆
