Movie Reviews of Blue Steel (1990)
Movie Review: possibly Jamie Lee's worst
Summary: 2 Stars
Every once in a while someone comes up with a movie and makes the terrible assumption that as long as they put a well known actor/actress in it that everything will turn out good. Blue Steel is one of those movies. Jamie Lee Curtis plays a rookie cop who is being held responsible for civilian casualties (or should I say murders) which she did not commit. Sounds like an interesting plot, right? It would be had the script not been so poorly written. The supporting actors give such a bland/typical performance that not even Jamie Lee could have saved the dialogue. Aside from the acting, the film does not give the action packed performance that it promises. Some scenes are quite dull and as you are watching you wonder half way through the movie when the cop (Jamie Lee) is going to finally kill the psychopath whose been after her. So why do I give Blue Steel an extra star? Well, I'll just say that if you are a fan of Jamie Lee Curtis you might want to watch this if it comes on television. Just don't pay over $3 to rent it and certainly don't buy it.Movie Review: An Embarrassment

One of the worst movies I have seen.Movie Review: Good Flick
Summary: 4 Stars
Blue Steel is entertaining. I believe you have to be a Jamie Lee Curtis fan to appreicate this movie. The actress performancewas good, but the story line wasn't as good.
Movie Review: underrated horror/action film. but disappointing at times.
Summary: 4 Stars
Kathryn Bigelow's Follow up to her allways good NEAR DARK is some wath disappointing but good at the same time. Jamie Lee Curtis plays a role were the character sames too tick (yes that is rigth, HALLOWEEN is over). Bigelow married James Cameron the year this came out, but that does not mean this is your every day walk in the park film. 1990. MGM. 94 MINS.
Rated R for Strong Violence and Language and For A Scene of Sensuality.
Movie Review: Bigelow's Second Genre Movie
Summary: 2 Stars
Blue Steel is Katherine Bigelow's second Hollywood feature as a director, and it has many of the same consistency problems as her subsequent movies, great action, interesting characters, but a fumbled last act where everything turns to stupid.I'm anticpating the release on DVD of Blue Steel, however because it makes a great companion to the recent DVD of the cult movie "Near Dark", her debut. "Near Dark" is her take on a vampire movie (though vampires are never mentioned in the movie, and they don't have fangs). Blue Steel is Bigelow's werewolf movie, and is enjoyable on that level. I hope the DVD will have some of the detail the release of "Near Dark" had.
