Still mildly entertaining (fell asleeep twice!) but along with his Runaway,time hasn't been kind to it.

Pity as Crichton's Westworld and Coma still pack a punch today.

I watched it Saturday night Reaps. I enjoyed it. Typical early Crichton in a way. It doesn't know if it wants to be a slasher film or sci-fi, or medical thriller. Cool set design at Coburn's wife's industry though.

I loved Looker as a kid and IIRC, it was on BBC 1 a couple of times too.

At least Albert Finney's American accent in Looker isn't as bad as his appalling Scottish accent in Skyfall. Coma is a gem, but what about The Great Train Robbery? Probably my fav of the Crichton films.

Apparently there was a lot of messing about with Looker.....

Nice. Dear Albert in that You Tube scene from Skyfall looks as though he's cacked his pants whilst holding that rather large gun. I shouldn't take the p**s out of Mr. Finney. He did make a fine Winston Churchill and private dick in Gumshoe. God bless him.
