The previews really only showed the scene of him walking around asking who was ready for a shave and all, and I was underwhelmed by his singing there, but over all he did a fantastic job. He had such a menacing growl when he sang. My only problem with his performance has nothing to do with him really, but he seemed kind of ONE NOTE. He constantly had that scowl of vengeance on his face, and I would have liked to see a little more humanity in there. But, perhaps that was the point. He had no humanity left, hence his sudden condemnation of the homeless shrew.
What did you think of that last image? I am still haunted by it.

I urge you to check out the 1982 DVD version of the stage show & discover all the missing/neglected elements of the play.
Still waiting to see if Pacino gets it, likes it, doesn't b4n me for foisting it on him.

The final image was the highpoint of the movie.
There were moments of brilliance in S.T. when I saw the movie I thought could have been. The "By The Sea" sequence was without a doubt my favorite...I think because it finally showed the sly, twisted humor that was missing from the rest of it. Grim is much more effective when you have something light to compare it to. That might have been one of my biggest disappointments. Tim Burton is usually so good at finding the humorously ironic within the horror. Didn't see too much of that a la casa de Sweeney though.

The up close and personal aspect of film lets me enjoy the nuances of emotion in facial expression --- and I think this makes film versions of musicals more real, as silly as that may sound -- It certainly beats being blown out the back of a theater by a singer determined to reach the back row and forgetting the emotion he or she must get across in the song.
