Looker

Thriller. Sci-Fi Plastic surgeon Larry Roberts performs a series of minor alterations on a group of models who are seeking perfection. The operations are a resounding success. But when someone starts killing his beautiful patients, Dr. Roberts becomes suspicious and starts investigating. What he uncovers are the mysterious - and perhaps murderous - activities of a high-tech computer company called Digital Matrix.
Media Author Review
United Kingdom
Time Out
"Mostly pretty silly and uncertain whether to be tongue-in-cheek, it has one or two good scenes and some intriguing hardware, including the 'Looker' disorientation gun." 
United States
Variety
"A silly and unconvincing contempo sci-fi thriller." 
United States
Newsweek
"As dumb as Looker is, it's not dull, and Crichton does pull off one very funny sequence"
United States
The New Yorker
"This picture seems ingenious at the start, but Crichton can't write people, and he directs like a technocrat. This is the emptiest of his pictures to date."
United States
TV Guide
"[A]confusing, silly story."
United States
The Washington Post
"'Looker' is so mindless it doesn't even justify its own silly premise, and so lascivious that it keeps announcing that its own collection of indistinguishably bland starlets represents physical perfection."
