Reviews
...there's little doubt that Looker would've worked a whole lot better as a novel...
If Crichton meant Looker as a satiric comedy, as he says he did, it doesn't come off as a very pointed or very funny one.
Weak and dated today, it was one of the first films my family rented after purchasing one of those cutting edge VCRs (you know, the one with the remote control with a cord).
Hopelessly outdated and borderline ridiculous medical thriller about cloned fashion models.
