I just got this movie on Netflix; I found it by looking for Tom Skerritt movies. I feel that he's an actor who should have made it bigger than he did. He did a credible job in the role. Barbara Bosson was fine as his wife, and I liked the pre-Voyager Robert Beltran as his partner (but do detectives dress like that while on duty?). I had recently seen Knight Moves, and Daniel Baldwin was extremely annoying as Skerritt's partner; Beltran's character was much better written. I've been a fan of Barbara Parkins' since Mephisto Waltz, so it was nice to see her again; she's still as gorgeous as ever. Sharon Stone is drop-dead gorgeous here. I can't recommend this movie unless you're a fan of the actors, but, if you have it, it is watchable.
This movie was on lifetime movie networks and is a clever, kinky tale of murders at a fashion shoot. check it out for sharon stone's early perfomance as a model being stalked by a psycho killer who is also offing her friends. Tom Skerrit plays the detective on the hunt for the killer before he gets to Stone. A clever whodunit, not too bad for a tv movie.
Someone is killing a bunch of nude models and it's up to Tom Skerritt's detective to get to the bottom of it. He meets a former model played by Sharon Stone who might not be as sweet and innocent as she tries to pretend to be.
This functions as an unofficial warmup for Stone's similar femme fatale role in Basic Instinct. She's much better vamping it up as a potential murderer than when she's trying out the wholesome good girl routine where, try as she might, she doesn't convince.
The story is boring and been done better a million times before. It's a film that might have benefited from an R rating to add a little extra sleaze to keep things more interesting.

This is a good, solid '80's TV movie of the week thriller. Lots of '80's glitz & glam, not as much substance. Tom Skerritt saves this movie, from itself, and distracts from how bad Sharon Stone's acting is. A fun, silly romp into the past.
Very good treatment of an old story, beautiful girls being bumped off by a serial killer ("Pretty Maids All In a Row") at a modeling agency ("Looker") with a "He's my boss-slap-He's my father-slap-He's my Boss And My Father" twist. But the great thing here is the casting. Never have I seen Tom Skerritt so charismatic, this is a terrific tryout for "Basic Instinct" for Sharon Stone, and the dangerously sexy chemistry between them fairly oozes out of the screen, Robert Morse also has a chance to demonstrate his range as the slimy, loathsome fashion show emcee. Though the plot resolution, as expected by that point, comes very quickly toward the end, I still enjoyed the way it was played out, with a mad tirade from former "Angel of the Year" calendar girl, Ms. Stone..
Loved it.
