Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) does something here he should be doing a lot more often: directing contemporary film noir with his eye for extraordinary art direction. Berenger and Rogers rise to the occasion, seemingly aware that they're making something special. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Every cliche in the bookAbsolutely painful film to watch and easily Ridley Scott's worst. He obviously does not understand the thriller genre as both this and Black Rain are some of the lamest cop flicks you'll ever see. But Someone to Watch Over me gets extra credit for taking the most incredible city in the world into a swamp of cliches that defies description. It's not so much that Tom Berenger is bad or that the set-up is totally unrealistic, but more that it is so absolutely predictable and devoid of any ... Read More Rating: - What happened to Tom Berenger?This is a very good movie. Ridley Scott has created a 100% authentic world with this movie. Tom Berenger plays his character fantastically. It's really a shame that he lost his talent to low rent action films when he could've continued with films like this. The atmosphere and cinemotography, as well as the soundtrack featuring liscensed (?) music really contributes to the overall mood, which is kind of casual and realistic. One thing that I think is good is that the story isn't pushed along by ... Read More Rating:  - Murder and Passion in the Big AppleThis review refers to "Someone To Watch Over Me"(VHS Columbia)... No matter how often I view this thriller, I still get caught up in the suspense, the thrills and the romance. Director Ridley Scott does an excellent job of pulling us into the lives of the characters, and like in a good Hitchcock flick, has us wanting to warn them of impending danger. New York City is the setting. On one side of town, in Queens, a party is going on at the modest home of newly promoted Detective, ... Read More Rating: - Not an Oscar winner, but worth watchingAll right, this is a bit of a difficult film to review, because while I enjoyed it, I can't decide whether I would actually want to be bothered to watch it again -- and that usually defines a great movie, for me. But I'll do my best and we'll see where we go. To sum up the plot, Tom Berenger plays Mike, a happily married (sexy) police detective who's hired to protect Claire (Mimi Rogers), a rich woman who's witnessed a murder. Predictably, perhaps, Claire and Mike fall in love, and as Mike's ... Read More Rating: - one of the classiest thrillers ever madeThis movie is fantastic. Mimi Rogers plays a wealthy socialate who witnesses a murder. The killer is after her. Tom Berenger plays a detective who along with two other detectives are assigned to protect her. He takes the night shift. He is married and has a son. He is impressed by Mimi Rogers upper class lifestyle, her beautiful apartment, classical music, she is a very classy lady. I must say Mimi Rogers was perfect for the part she is beautiful and carries herself so gracefully. Read More |
