  Jamie Lee Curtis does not look very good in a police uniform. There are some good suspense scenes in this film however.

  Jamie Lee Curtis (Carpenter films aside): poor. Ron Silver: poor. Kathryn "Point Break" Bigelow: oh, so very poor. Not a recipe for success.

  Unbelievable thriller and Jamie Lee Curtis does pretty well with her part.

  The movie reminds us again and again that Curtis is a female cop and that there is something wrong with that. Socially it's not normal for a woman to possess that power. She must have issues and her character in this movie does have issues with an abusive father, and she hasn't been able to date a man long term, and she is perhaps too quick to draw her gun. There is lots of gun play throughout, most of which miraculously misses or only inflicts flesh wounds. Only at point blank range are bullets lethal according to this movie. Without much real development Curtis falls into the arms of Clancy Brown for a brief hot synthesizer sex scene. I kept thinking the villain was Tim Roth, but the actor was Ron Silver. Silver does play a scary psychopath who somehow roams around the city offing people without witnesses and jumping across town in no time to stay steps ahead of the cops.

  BLUE STEEL is about a rookie female cop (Jamie Lee Curtis) who kills an armed robber (Tom Sizemore) the first day on the job. During the altercation, one of the witnesses, Eugene Hunt, a Wall St. gold trader played by Ron Silver surreptitiously pockets the weapon and leaves. He later starts killing people all over New York City for whatever odd unexplained reasons and Curtis finds herself in hot water because her name is written on the bullets used to kill the victims. Meanwhile Silver has begun courting the unsuspecting Curtis but after a few dates she realizes who he is and they both enter into a deadly game of cat and mouse.

  Jamie Lee Curtis stars as a female rookie cop who shoots a convenient store robber (Tom Sizemore) and the robbers gun is missing. Her superiors believe she shot an unarmed man, when in reality a thrill seeking psycho (the late Ron Silver) took the gun. He starts killing people with it, as well as playing mind games with Curtis by actually dating her. Kathryn Bigelow I think was an under-rated director and that she had promise long before I ever seen the Hurt Locker. I liked Blue Steel and I loved Point Break. Her cop thrillers at least had some originality to them. With Point Break, what other film had bank robberies, surfing and sky diving all in one movie ?

  Good thriller that the director casted Ron Silver of all people as the disturbed individual, why I dont know however he pulls it off quite smoothly. gripping storyline that is one of those movies that makes you want to reach thru the screen and grab the villain yourself. Another movie… More
  Good thriller that the director casted Ron Silver of all people as the disturbed individual, why I dont know however he pulls it off quite smoothly. gripping storyline that is one of those movies that makes you want to reach thru the screen and grab the villain yourself. Another movie that is hard to find for us collectors.

  It just has to be said: Kathryn Bigelow is a guarantee for intelligent, psychological and exciting action cinema. Great film.
