Justin T @RT08580778 Feb 23 This was a good little eighties classy thriller. It was quite gritty. It was certainly not smooth and slick. The camera work was fantastic. Nancy Allen was excellent in this, such a charismatic actress. The acting is brilliant. There were some amazingly well shot scenes. Some scenes felt slow and uneventful though. The exciting moments are well done. Nothing too scary sadly. Interesting story. I did enjoy this film although I don’t think that it is very special, somewhat forgettable? See more Andrew Reed M @OscarReedThethird Jan 18 Very good thriller. It is full of late '70s style, which is fun, but the story transcends the era and is a nail biter. It's almost worth watch just to see what happens to the Michael Caine character.

The dazzling cinematography, use of split-screen and slow-motion were perfect for suspense-building sequences, especially the iconic elevator scene. While the plot twist was predictable, the film's stylish direction makes it a watchable thriller. See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Oct 20 That opening scene though... See more Constantine N @RT31933057 Sep 13 Cheesy, and the majority of scenes are drawn out and have little meaning towards the plot. For example, the art museum scene: why is 10 minutes spent on cat/mouse chasing, no words spoken... The director thinks the viewers are dense and tries to explain thoughts and emotions through what feels like endless scenes. The missing underwear. The missing ring. The cop on the subway. The young boy is supposed to be Inspector Gadget? with listening devices, cameras, and inventing a "new circuit"... all attempts to solve his mother's murder? It's almost a comedy how cringy some scenes are. See more Ed . @RT01276001 Aug 29 He's no lady, and she's a tramp who is as savvy with her investments as she is with her clients. De Palma's film makes a smooth transition from a slasher to a sleek and stylish neo noir murder mystery. While audience and critics were wondering what's it all about with Michael Caine and Angie Dickinson, I think Dennis Franz deserves high praise for his straight-talking New Yorker cop who pulls no punches. Finally, do you think Angie's date got in any legal trouble for reckless endangerment? See more Read all reviews
