Looker 1981

Holds up, though it was hard to imagine Albert Finney as a "hot doctor" that all these bikini models and television actresses were throwing themselves at. Of course, he was rich! Michael Crichton ("Jurassic Park," "Westworld") directed this from his own script, and it still holds up--even today, they're talking about how long it will be before actors are completely replaced with CGI versions of themselves. And I still find that Looker gun--and those creepy leaps forward in time--fascinating. It plays with the standard editing of a film to skip ahead, having us and the characters "miss out" on portions of the film. Great job, and Susan Dey was charming.
