Profile for Murder

Lance Henriksen gives a strong performance in what is otherwise a very scrambled movie. Sure you get a couple sex scenes with Joan Severance, but unfortunately they are tied together with a pseudo seduction that is beyond boring. Henriksen's intriguing character driving his red Viper is more interesting than the anemic script. My biggest objection to "Profile for Murder" is that the film definitely takes liberties with the audience as far as believability is concerned, and the ending tries for twists and turns, that come out of nowhere. This is not one of Lance Henriksen's better movies, but it is a watchable Henriksen performance. - MERK

Quite good like erotic film. Like a crime story is for me combination of "Silence of the Lambs" (scene in prison - L.Henriksen just like A.Hopkins?) and "Basic Instinct" (rivalry since school, sexual urge and surprising final). Though Lance Henriksen becomes him.

I felt I had to warn any of you that were tempted by the all positive reviews of this movie so far. It wasn't the worst I've ever seen, but still bad none the less. One of the users even commented that it ripped off other films, yet praised it. Attempts to shock, just repels. Totally nonsense ending. Great looking women can only get you so far. 3 out of 10.

I really liked this movie. Lance Henriksen and Joan Severance both give compelling performances. Lance H. has a unique ability to combine mystery, menace, sensitivity and sexuality in the role of Adrian Cross. I find his rugged sensuality quite appealing. Beautiful photography.

. . . The only flaw was that Lance Henriksen was too old for the character he played, or that Jeff Wincott was too young for his character. You would find out what I mean when the ending arrives. I liked the Seattle area where this movie took place. Lance Henriksen's acting was very good--Joan Severance, too, who was looking fine as always, especially in that bathtub, doing her own version of a masturbating routine: if I remember right, ala Sharon Stone from 'Sliver.' This, and other Joan Severance movies need to be put on DVD!
