catastrophic regexp, help!

[cirfu]

pat = re.compile("(\w* *)*")
this matches all sentences.
if fed the string "are you crazy? i am" it will return "are you
crazy".

i want to find a in a big string a sentence containing Zlatan
Ibrahimovic and some other text.
ie return the first sentence containing the name Zlatan Ibrahimovic.


patzln = re.compile("(\w* *)* zlatan ibrahimovic (\w* *)*")
should do this according to regexcoach but it seems to send my
computer into 100%CPU-power and not closable.
