Movie Reviews of Dressed to Kill
Movie Review: I knew that was a body double!
Summary: 5 Stars
Dressed to Kill starring Angie Dickinson, Michael Caine and Nancy Allen is a kinky, sediuctive, and oh so cool thriller from Brian De Palma. Of course his movies have really sucked over the past decade, Dressed to Kill and Carrie are his two best and accessible films. Make sure kids aren't in the room when you pop it in the dvd player, full frontal nudity and a naughty cab scene is what you'll get in the first 30 minutes. Kinda surprised Michael Caine is in this movie but hey he pulls off a great performance as Dr. Elliot who is not as he seems, hint hint. The scene in the museum is the best and the ride on the subway near the end is quite thrilling. If you like an erotic thrill ride then Dressed to Kill is for you. Enjoy!Movie Review: Classic dePalma thriller!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll never forget my first viewing of this, many years ago. The notorious 'elevator scene' with Angie Dickinson in her stunning winter white suit...let's just the suit doesn't stay 'white' for long. There are some terrific DVD extras here, featurettes, trailers, marketing images for fans of the film and dePalma. As far as the film, it's a great piece of work, classic dePalma. The camera work in the extended museum scene in the front part of the film is outstanding. The weak link: Nancy Allen's one note performance, made all the more ridiculous by the idea that she was nominated for a Golden Globe for the role!Movie Review: An Incredible Flick and DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an absolutely outstanding film. Yes, it is very trashy, the acting is only so-so (except for Michael Caine's usual top-caliber performance)and the style takes precedence over content . . . but when you have a director who knows as much about style as De Palma . . . who cares? Both terrifying and very funny all at once.The DVD transfer is about as good as they come in a wonderful letterbox format. The sound is great as well, and compliments the brilliant musical score very well. Features are endless . . . sometimes a bit repetitive . . . and self-appreciative . . . but good fun nonetheless.
Movie Review: Genius, a masterwork
Summary: 5 Stars
Chilling, mysterious Eroticthriller as it should be. Subtly built up to the climax, it is suspenseful every minute. In this DVD, you can also change to the Uncut, uncensored version. The scene in the museum is art: without any dialogue, you see so much about what is going on in the mind of the main character. Making of is gorgeous with comments of the whole main cast, director, etc. In the comparisons of the scenes in several versions you see how important and visually artistic the original version is.Movie Review: Dressed to Kill
Summary: 5 Stars
Brian de Palma's best film is a reverent, worthy homage to Hitchcock, with some added kinkiness thrown in, to excellent effect. Extremely creepy and achingly suspenseful, this film may bring some sleepless nights, but it's so effective and well-executed, it's worth the insomnia. Cab scene with Angie is justly famous, and Caine is superb as the mysterious shrink who may know more than he's telling. Don't miss this one.
