The TVI Take
Martin Brest's 1992 Bo Goldman screenplay anchored by Al Pacino's Best Actor Oscar-winning performance as a blind retired Army lieutenant colonel. The structural commitment to letting Pacino's late-career bigger-than-life performance be the actual subject, and the canonical tango-dance sequence with Gabrielle Anwar, is the work the Academy finally gave Pacino his career-defining Oscar for (after seven prior nominations).
