From Brian De Palma, the same old thing. Excepting Sean Penn. Or anyhow Sean Penn's hairdo: a thinning-on-top Art Garfunkel-y blond frizz, for the role of a crooked, coked-up lawyer. The leading chameleon of the American screen can be counted on always to show you a new look. Otherwise, it's the familiar formula of the ex-convict (Al Pacino, with a lithpy Puerto Rican acthent) left behind during his years in the slammer, finding everything changed on the outside, trying to go straight, wooing a good woman (theme song: "You Are So Beautiful," Joe Cocker version), and so on and so on for two and a half hours. If nothing else, the straightforwardness of it begets none of those loopy plot turns with which De Palma is in the habit of tripping himself up. Penelope Ann Miller, Ingrid Rogers.
