Looker description Someone is killing the supermodel clients of Hollywood plastic surgeon Albert Finney, and because this is a Michael Crichton movie, there has to be a pop-techno-scientific reason for it. Welcome to the daffy world of Looker, a 1981 film that manages to blend one or two interesting cultural ideas with a dismal storyline and a wonderfully cheesy early-Reagan-era look. The trail of murders leads to a corporation called Digital Matrix (Crichton always was prophetic about naming things), where head honcho James Coburn has launched a nonsensical plan involving TV commercials and mind control. Accused of the model deaths, Finney must track down the real culprit, aided by client Susan Dey (in her most appealing non-TV role). There's also a crazy "light gun" that causes victims to black out, a device that leads to some very strange shoot-outs. All of this might have been fun if the movie had any kind of suspense or distinctive characters. Albert Finney made this the same year he did Wolfen, after a hiatus from movie acting--a pair of eccentric choices, to be sure. Adding to the silliness is a truly wretched theme song, made the way they made 'em in the early '80s. --Robert Horton |

| When I first saw this movie I thought it was wierd but then I fell in love with it. James Coburn, Albery Finney and the mustache guy who always plays an evil henchman were great. The movie starts out were models were murdered while their faces and bodies were copied for a big company for commericals. Albert Finney plays a plastic surgeon who's looking for answers then gets tangled into the mysterious web. A high-tech gun transforms people into freeze and do the person who used the weapon's bidding. James Coburn plays the mysterious head of the company who is possibly behind the mysterious murders of the models. Check it out if you want to really know. Great 80's movie. | |
