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

Speaking for myself Looker was a terrible movie experience. Based on my lofty expectations for a Michael Crichton (MC) production I can only score it at one star. I realize the majority of Amazon reviewers don't agree with me, but I have loved everything done by this amazing science fiction writer in the past, and this film just didn't do it for me. I even watched this movie twice, once without commentary and a second time with MC narration. It just didn't work. I am glad to see that the majority ... Read More

The movie came timely and accordinly. I've seen it years ago in the early eighties, and I enjoyed watching it again now. Thanks!

I used to watch Looker all the time when I was a little kid. It was one of those that could be seen on HBO frequently, so it was hard to avoid. I even had it taped on Beta(yes, BETA!!). As a child I never completely understood the plot details as they were a bit over my head at that age. I did know a plastic surgeon was investigating deaths of women and it somehow lead to a sinister looking guy with a mustache and some goofy fake tv commercials with no actors in them. Two things really attracted ... Read More

I loved Looker when I first seen it on HBO over 20 years ago and when I seen it on Amazon.com I just had to have it. I would recommend it to anyone who likes beautiful models, suspence, and action all combined into one movie. Definetly loved it. Enjoy
