Plot Summary

Michael Crichton ("Disclosure," "Jurassic Park," TV's "ER") wrote and directed this smart, high-tech thriller that delves into just how profitable supermodels can be, once you're rid of the models. Plastic surgeon Albert Finney ("The Dresser," "Orphans") goes after big business execs (Oscar-winner James Coburn -- "Maverick," and Emmy Award-winner Leigh Taylor-Young -- "Picket Fences") when he realizes his glamorous young patient Susan Dey ("L.A. Law," "Love and War") is next in line for computerized cloning -- and murder.

Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: The plot is pretty silly but Mr. Crichton's handling of it is even sillier, though it is bold. – Vincent Canby, New York Times, Nov 5, 2008

Rotten: A silly and unconvincing contempo sci-fi thriller. – Variety Staff, Variety, Jul 7, 2010

Rotten: Tediously convoluted. – Tom Milne, Time Out, Nov 5, 2008

Rotten: This is the kind of shoddy time-filler that Oscar-calibre actors clearly do only to pay the rent. Plenty of unintentional giggles though. – Film4, Jun 24, 2010

80's Retro

This movie is rough at many levels but that is what makes it watchable. It has a retro-cheese factor that can not be denied. If you watch it as a drama you will likely be very disappointed. Watch it as a comedy however and it becomes much more entertaining. Gigantic Mirror glasses as a first line of defense against world domination? How can you go wrong?

Great movie, that I almost missed.

I first saw this movie during the summer of 1983. I thought that it was going to be a looser, but, was I surprised? The action and the whole premise of the "looker device" was incredible, the action was nonstop and this movie, quickly, became one of my favorites. And I would like to add that I am glad to be able to watch it again.

Rotten Tomatoes = full of lies

This movie is top of the line good. Rotten Tomatoes is full of lies, not every movie can be as good as Star Wars- but that doesn’t mean the movie is bad.
