I've loved this movie since I saw it the first time. The science fiction is so rooted in the possible that the fright stays with you long after the movie ends.
Looking back at this movie from the distance of 2023, it's incredibly prescient. Let's see, singers show up in holograms for concerts, actors make commercials long after they're dead, and faces are photoshopped to the millimeter. This is Looker come to life!
My hubby laughed at the Looker device, saying what would the Men In Black have done without this movie showing them the device?
I have always felt a little bad for Rick Rossovich. He was the first one to use that whole "bright light freezes people and erases their memory gadget" and they didn't even put him into "Men In Black".
"It didn't used to be like this....computers telling us what to do" may be the most terrifying line in the movie here in 2023.
