What happens

The film is Becker's second collaboration with Pacino, having directed him in Sea of Love (1989). The film was released by Sony Pictures Releasing on February 16, 1996, and received generally positive reviews from critics, but was a box office bomb as it grossed $33.4 million against a $40 million budget.
