Storyline:

What's it all about Alfie?

A womanizing British playboy in New York City finds that there are serious consequences to his carefree lifestyle.

A contemporary upating of the 1966 classic "Alfie," focusing on a womanizer forced to rethink his superficial existence.

Jude Law stars in this trenchant dramatic-comedy, a remake of the 1966 British counterculture classic Alfie that launched the career of Michael Caine. This version of Alfie 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 Alfie is 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 the array of Alfie's 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.
