    A SF murder mystery with enough nudity (including Laurie Partridge!) to make you do a double take at its PG rating. (God bless the 70s.)
  • July 13, 2008
    Interesting premise, but very dated (80's) and quite choppy in places. Bring a barf back for the title song.

    I can't stand 80's movies and their 'high-tech' plots.

    Great B movie... I love the premise and Albert Finney is awesome as the detective... fun classic flick

    Strong cast (Late great James Coburn & Finney) makes up for some deficiencies in plotline. Underrated Dorian Harewood (Voice of "War Machine"/Col. Rhodes in the Iron Man animated series), and drop dead sexy Randi Brooks put in an appearance. Legions of beauties of course populate...( read more) this film. I have only seen the edited version, and will review when I find the unedited version for my collection...

    I don't know how well this film holds up 20-some years after it's release, but it was pretty cool back in the day.

    This is a sci-fi thriller way ahead of its time. its nice to see it finally get the Dvd treatment. This movie was watched religiously by me in the early 80's on HBO. Albert Finney is oddly but cast wonderfully as the plastic surgeon turned detective who must uncover the conspirac...( read more)y of why his beautiful patients are getting murdered. Susan Dey plays plays Finney's model girlfriend and last surviving patient and James Coburn plays the head of the evil Digital Matrix corporation. Great film and a catchy 80's theme song.
