I enjoyed this movie a lot as a kid as I enjoyed the flash guns and the other nifty computer stuff. This movie also has a bit of nudity in it, funny considering this movie was rated pg. It even has a couple of good deaths in it too. Just not the kind of stuff you would find in a movie these days unless it were just showing a male butt on screen. Here you get brief images of models and it is quite nice to look at. The plot has a plastic surgeon's patients dying off. What is strange is that none of these women seem to need any surgery to begin with. One particular girl kind of gets close to the doctor and through a series of events they uncover strange going ons. This movie is very entertaining as it has it all it seems. Good action here and there, some mystery, and some nice imagery. You also have a cool flash gun that stuns a person for a good while when used. It also has its rather funny scenes as a couple of those deaths that happen when they are filming those bad commercials are just great. The cast is rather good too, as Albert Finney may not be an action star, but he does really good here. James Coburn is also very good and they have a nice assortment of attractive girls too. They just do not make them like this anymore unfortunately.

Though I was a kid when "Looker" came out. You gotta absorb yourself into the world of science fiction(sci-fi). Albert Finney("Annie", "Shoot The Moon"), Susan Dey("The Partridge Family", "LA Law"), James Coburn, Dorian Harewood, and others make of a very fine cast of characters in the movie. Despite the nudity, this movie was well handedly made. Finney played a plastic surgeon whose patients die of under mysterious circumstances. The first victim looked hot in her black bra and panty, who needed that robe? Then a man named Reston(Coburn) who runs a shady corporation who uses TV as his weapon of choice. And that gun of theirs, it's unbelievable. Why need bullets to kill, when you can use a special light to cause disorientation. That will make regular drugs, obsolete. This movie looked liked a drama at first, but when I watched some more, it was much more interesting. This is one 80's sci-fi film I really enjoyed. It was well made , and as the British say, "It's a real Right-LOOKER!" 5 STARS.

I stumbled upon the 1981 movie "Looker" here in 2021. And yeah, I had never even heard about the movie prior to getting to sit down and watch it.

And not being familiar with this movie, I didn't really have much of any expectations to writer and director Michael Crichton with this 1981 movie. And taking the movie's age into consideration, I wasn't really boasting much of any hopes either.

But I will say that "Looker" was an adequately entertaining movie. The concept was interesting, although it felt like the storyline was lacking something. As the movie came to an end, I must admit that I wasn't left with a feeling of this being a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.

The movie actually holds up even in 2021, as there was something quirky and charming to the special effects with the computers.

They had an adequate cast for the movie, and I was surprised to see Susan Dey and James Coburn in this movie.

Ultimately, then "Looker" was a watchable enough movie, though hardly an outstanding movie. I am rating it a mediocre five out of ten stars.
