    Photographer Laura Mars begins literally seeing murders through the eyes of a serial killer--a curse that turns her effectively blind at tense moments, such as when the killer begins stalking her. A fine cast of Faye Dunaway (Laura), Tommy Lee Jones (as the cop), Rene Auberjonoi...( read more)s (as the gay best friend) and Raul Julia (as the ex-husband) buoy this otherwise preposterous thriller.

    Predictable predictable predictable.

    The hints of John Carpenter that stick out of his screenplay are nice, but the rest of this is just mediocre.

    Laura Mars (Dunaway) is a New York fashion photographer whose life in the fast-lane screeches to holt when a number of acquainatnces are bumped off in a series of bloody murders. To make matters worse she actually witnesses them through the eyes of the killer.

    To begin with, ...( read more)yes Barbara Streisand does sing the theme tune but don't let this painful experience put you off watching the rest of the film since this is pure, unadulterated trash. Big hair, pounding disco music and over-the-top performances are the order of the day and this all rounded off with some delightfully disastrous improvised dialogue.

    Obviously influenced by the Italian Giallo genre, this film, believe it or not, is based on a story by John Carpenter (although he disowned the film). For fans of bad movies this will be a natural choice and is worth renting solely for the most absurd murder motive ever committed to film.

    This is trash of the highest order and should become a instant hit for those who like bad movies.

    A fine thriller, the professional cast works in it?s favor, as does the excellent score. Professionally made. It doesn?t fully convince, but it held my interest for the most part. Rene Auberjonois is good in a supporting role.

    An old movie that I remember seeing in the theatre while I was in college. A pretty good suspense movie. Not so good by modern day suspense standards.

    A young Tommy Lee Jones in a starmaking role here. Faye Dunaway is as sexy as ever in this role.

    I remember my mom watching this movie and i read the book. Quite good actually for its time. We're the same age.

    In general there was a bit of suspense in this movie. The leading soundtrack actually told the viewer that a murder was going to happen. Not really good as I like to be caught by surprise when watching a crime thriller.
    So this music took away much suspense. And the romantic sce...( read more)nes didn't take up the level either. Just passed the test, nothing more.
