 Big letdown of a movie September 8, 2007
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
The first 30 minutes to Dressed to Kill are dreadful, Brian De Palma's worst ever as a director. I stuck with the movie simply because I enjoyed some of De Palma's other movies such as The Untouchables, Carlito's Way, and The Phantom of Paradise. Dressed to Kill picks up a little bit after Angie Dickinson goes away, but it never shakes off its sleaziness. This movie is overrated like its director.

Brian De Palma, Michael Caine, Angie Dickinson, Nancy Allen, Dennis Franz, pretty much says it all. Kind of easy to figure out, so don't and you'll have more fun.

Dressed to Kill starring Angie Dickinson, Michael Caine and Nancy Allen is a kinky, sediuctive, and oh so cool thriller from Brian De Palma. Of course his movies have really sucked over the past decade, Dressed to Kill and Carrie are his two best and accessible films. Make sure kids aren't in the room when you pop it in the dvd player, full frontal nudity and a naughty cab scene is what you'll get in the first 30 minutes. Kinda surprised Michael Caine is in this movie but hey he pulls off a great performance as Dr. Elliot who is not as he seems, hint hint. The scene in the museum is the best and the ride on the subway near the end is quite thrilling. If you like an erotic thrill ride then Dressed to Kill is for you. Enjoy!

Brian de Palma's best film is a reverent, worthy homage to Hitchcock, with some added kinkiness thrown in, to excellent effect. Extremely creepy and achingly suspenseful, this film may bring some sleepless nights, but it's so effective and well-executed, it's worth the insomnia. Cab scene with Angie is justly famous, and Caine is superb as the mysterious shrink who may know more than he's telling. Don't miss this one.
Classic dePalma thriller! February 28, 2007

I'll never forget my first viewing of this, many years ago. The notorious 'elevator scene' with Angie Dickinson in her stunning winter white suit...let's just the suit doesn't stay 'white' for long. There are some terrific DVD extras here, featurettes, trailers, marketing images for fans of the film and dePalma. As far as the film, it's a great piece of work, classic dePalma. The camera work in the extended museum scene in the front part of the film is outstanding. The weak link: Nancy Allen's one note performance, made all the more ridiculous by the idea that she was nominated for a Golden Globe for the role!
