Summary: Feast Your Eyes On Jeff...Because Your Brain Will Switch Off
Review: My god, Jeff Goldblum is a fine specimen of manhood with his beautiful face, fine physique, controlled mania and wry way of speaking. But this very dull movie, filmed in an ugly fashion so popular during the 80s (very anti-art), with an absurd and tedious plot about some jewelry and a mysterious shady lady with whom our hero becomes entangled, leaves so much to be desired.

Summary: enjoyable film
Review: This is a chase movie, a kind of film-noir without the black and white. Here the ordinary man is Jeff Goldblum, a guy so so unhappy with his mundane job and cheating wife that he spends his nights driving the LA streets instead of sleeping. One night he finds himself in the wrong place at the right time. He interrupts the murder of a beautiful and mysterious Michelle Pfeifer and very shortly he finds himself her unwilling accomplice as both evade her ruthless pursuers. She warns him right up front that she is "one of the bad guys", but he's hooked. The chase takes them to all of the "mink-lined sewers" of after dark LA and lets them encounter quirky and sometimes violent characters. This movie plays like a mix of dark comedy and thriller.It has a plot twist of sorts, but does not end darkly. The cameos will be interesting to film buffs, but not to anyone else. It's Goldblum, Pfeifer, and the chase that drives this movie. And thankfully, the story - though improbable - strings tightly together and does not involve stupid car chases, explosions, or wanton killing. In fact, the violence is tame by today's standards. There's the brief nudity seen in 80's movies and occasional mild profanity. A nice film to rent. I bought it.

Summary: one of my all time favorites
Review: This is a great movie that is always underrated by critics. Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer are wonderful here, at the start of their careers, and without big star egos. The surprise cameos are fun and the story is fresh and unique. I recommend it to anyone who is tired of the same old plot and action. This is well worth the money.

Summary: One of the Best!
Review: This is one of my all time favorites, too! Everyone loves David Bowie as the bodyguard/assasin, but his knife-wielding nemesis is none other than rock 'n' roll legend Carl Perkins (Blue Suede Shoes). Also look for that great little telephone scene with a very rare appearance by Jim Henson. There are so many great bits with so many famous directors-as-actors they could fill a small book. I make every movie-buff friend I have watch this flick. You should too.

Review: This movie has big stars in lead roles and cameos galore, but it's just not that good. The ending at the airport with Jeff Goldblum and the terrorist is just plain ludicrous! Yes, there are some good moments in it, but all in all it's not that good.
