I love this movie so much
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
"Naked City: A Killer Christmas" is a journeyman made-for-tv movie about a NYC detective duo (Glenn & Vance) who continue investigating a serial killer case after the FBI has put a bow on it. A no brainer flick which doesn't take itself too seriously, is laced with light-hearted side plots and humor, and doesn't get bloody or ugly, "NC:AKC" is an easy watch for crime flick junkies. Keep expectations low, kick back, and enjoy.
Well, what a waste of 90 minutes. Some of the worst acting you would ever want to see (particularly the waitress who was Peralta's girlfriend - this would be an example of overacting at its absolute worst) allied to inept, wooden screenwriting. Its sole redeeming feature is a nice twist in the story but the ending is lame. If you have anything better to do dont bother watching this movie.
A very good film worth watching and recommending. Although it's low on suspense, the acting by Laura Leighton makes up for it. Her role as Newsreporter Gerry Millar is one that makes the movie. She steals the scene everytime she appears. Who knew that she was also pretty as a blonde!
The movie is OK: Bogdanovich knows how to direct a thriller, although his best work was "Noises Off...". Scott Glenn is perfect: nice, beautiful and very, very expressive: my favourite actor!!! Laura Leighton is pretty and nice.
