may contain minor spoiler . dress to kill and have just see it for the first time the other day and be a movie with some terrific sequence and some decent performance and and a nice and though obvious hitchcock ripoff and plot twist at the end . it just too bad certain thing and quite obvious and prevent it from be a classic . dress to kill deal with a mystery of a killer who have slay at least two woman ( could have be more but the movie never tell u ) and and the search for the killer by three people represent a brainy kid whose mom be a victim and a lively hooker whose the only one who can identify the killer and and a psychiatrist whose patient be the slained brainy kid mother . there be a host of well do performance include nancy allen a the hooker liz and angie dickenson a the sexually frustrated victim kate miller and and micheal caine a doctor rober elliot whose have more hidden than meet the eye while though by no standard be anyone really outstanding . on the other hand denis franz and later to be a great character along the same line on the hit show nypd blue and be embarrass a an over exaggerated and ruthless and hateful detective and though he take little screen time so it doesn not hurt the movie that much . keith gordon and the brain child and be decent and but be almost too smart to really be believable . what stick with me the most in the film be the tense sequence . the scene with the sexually frustrated mother at the museum be grip and well do and a be the late sequence lead to her untimely death . i also love the sequence at the doctor office and that reveal the identity of the killer and which really make the whole film come together at once . and there a split screen scene that i think be almost classic . still there another situation when liz be on a train and run from what may be the killer and that get take in direction it should never have with almost embarrass racial stereotype . a a thriller it tense and quite often believable . a a crime drama it often falter and especially with the incomplete and ridiculous explanation of everything that happen in the end . there also a needless and and way too long and dream sequence at the end and in which they have the audacity to shoot someone foot for what seem minute at a time . this be an up and down experience while one scene would catch me by the heart and mind with enticement and and the next would make me squirm and ask why . at more than 100 minute this could have be under 90 and be a good film . scary movie fan should like this . it still stand a a good film than most of today slasher flick . maybe it be a good film in it time and but have just see it recently i can say i enjoy it and and it be worth watch for my three favorite scene alone .
