Jude Law stars in this trenchant dramatic-comedy, a remake
of the 1966 British counterculture classic that launched
the career of Michael Caine. This version is set in New
York City and is pumped up with giddy, cleverly
experimental editing. The story has Alfie (Law), a Don
Juan-esque limo driver, speaking directly to the camera as
he seduces the lovely ladies of the city. Eventually he's
forced to take stock of the damage he's caused, and
acknowledge the emptiness at the core of his chosen
lifestyle. Playing the role of Alfie requires a fine
balancing act from Law--he must be so charming that he
seduces both the audience and himself, while also
conveying the self-delusion and sadness at the character's
core--and Law is up for the challenge, expertly conveying
glimpses of the unfathomed depth beneath his polished
shallowness. Equally good are his array of conquests,
including Marisa Tomei as a single mom, Sienna Miller as a
mood-swinging party girl, and Susan Sarandon as a rich
older woman. A soundtrack by Mick Jagger and David Stewart
(Eurythmics) adds liberal dollops of self-aware
rock-and-roll melancholy. Dick Latessa is great as an old
man who offers Alfie some sage advice, and Omar Epps plays
the screwed-over limo driving buddy!!
