"13.7. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Brian De Palman onnistuneimpia tasapainoiluja törkyn ja teknisen nerouden välillä. Murhamotiivien suhde transsukupuolisuuteen (se oli spoileri) on aika yksoikoinen, mutta ei nyt ihan loukkaavaanakaan näyttäydy, sillä itse elokuva ei sekään minusta kovin vakava ole."

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pros: It’s a tense film, from beginning to end. The suspense, and the fact that you don’t know what’s coming from one moment, to the next. It’s a stylish and well made thriller. The performances, from Angie Dickinson and Michael Caine. The soundtrack, for Dressed to Kill. Cons: Some aspects of the film, namely the twist ending, haven’t aged all that well."

" Notes: Basically, it is some kind of homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s work, and even though Hitchcock himself was apparently not impressed, I think it was pretty neat. I especially loved the first act focusing on Angie Dickison and, in my opinion, it was some of the best work delivered by Brian De Palma. Of course, you might argue that it was rather sleazy and exploitative but I thought that it was just spellbinding to behold and Angie Dickinson was quite fascinating. Obviously as a homage to 'P"
