"Looker is ultimately not worth a look"
DECIDE FOR YOURSELF
This is a great film. I did not give it a higher score only because I reserve 7+ scores for films that are also important, which this film is not. (Case in point "True Lies")
This being said, it is an extremely enjoyable film to watch.
Michael Crichton often chose his stories to examine actual concerns of the time, as he did in "Terminal Man", "Coma", and even in "Jurassic Park" (the issue of Genetic Research). In this film the concern involved the increasing affect that computers and advertising are having on us.
Albert Finney was in several "workmanlike" films during this period....films that were consistently enjoyable, with another example being "Wolfen".
It is great news that this is finally being re-released on DVD!
...now where is "Serial"?! ...or Americathon?! ...or Peter Proud?!
