If Looks Could Kill (1991)

hyped garbage

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This movie was okay. I've seen it a couple of times and it's all right. The one-liners in the movie are the best part, but they do hurt it by overdoing them. The action sequence at the end is enjoyable. I only wish they didn't take Mrs. Grober, a complete wuss in one act and turn her into an over-amped, wanna-be, confident fighter. It just didn't work. The only acting worth crediting is that of Marishka's. The only character who acts her role out well. The plot is original and good which made it a little more watchable. Oh, and did they really have to underuse the Lotus. Come on, we see him screwing around with the gadgets while not even trying to get into too much conflict with the bad guys. So there's one guy chasing him. Do we give a rat's ***? No. If they had almost the whole force on him, then there's something worth watching. Steranko is just plain annoying at times. I wish that that what's her face short lady was the main bad guy(girl). At least she's more intimidating than this tall wimp. One last thing, the helicopter and the fire at the end. Can anyone say,"too much?" I mean a blade going off on its own is the weirdest thing ever, even for a movie. And the fire; I didn't know it could spread so fast in under 3 minutes. Plus, you can tell in the far away shot of the castle at the end when it on fire that it is pure model or something like that. Thank God for CGI these days. 5/10

Well, I've had the opportunity of watching this movie a long time ago and had quite a few good memories of it. Yesterday I decided to rent this movie for the old times. Man, it was so good.The main plot of the movie is kind of strange and dated for our time but it is very funny. This movie has a strange power to really amuses you.The acting its not so bad, its good to tell you the truth. Specially Gabrielle Anwar that kicks some major ass. There is a scene, the first one that she appears, in a car that man...its unbelievable. If you have the chance, rent it. I assure you some good hours of fun.

I dare anyone and I do mean ANYONE to watch this movie and tell me that they did not enjoy it. Grieco may have had a dud or two in his career, but he knocked this one out of the park. Gabrielle Anwar is ridiculously hot in this flick, and everyone involved gives career performances. Grieco's Michael Corben is up there with Olivier's Hamlet. That sounds stupid. I have overstated my point, but answer me this, would you rather see Grieco or Olivier as MICHAEL CORBEN: french club reject. Whoever said sir Larry is a liar. Trust me, this baby ROCKS. Sure no one involved looks like high school students, but that's okay. It's a movie that isn't trying to take itself seriously so it's cool.Seriously, see this movie and you will not be sorry. The experienced will be enhanced if you have a martini or two (but only if you're legal!)while you watch, but that is my only advice.If Looks Could Kill? Indeed, I believe they can.

I think this film is a mix of Gotcha, but sadly no Linda Fiorentino, James Bond, Q would have been proud of all this gadgets, and some pieces of other comedies like Airplane. It's funny and best for saturday afternoon with some kids.
