Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Sam Panico What happens when a serial killer expert has to face off with the real thing? That's what happens when Dr. Helen Hudson (Sigourney Weaver, Alien) is cornered and attacked by a man she profiled, Daryll Lee Cullum (Harry Connick Jr.).For the next 18 months, Dr. Hudson is a recluse, refusing to leave her computer and high rent apartment, only allowing her friend Andy into her world. A new series of murders - right in her neighborhood - threaten to draw her out. Joining up with Inspector Monahan (Holly Hunter) and Rueben Goetz (Dermot Mulroney), she begins to realize that this killer is copying the world's worst serial killers.It also turns out that the killer is following the script she presented on the night that Cullum attacked her. Along the way, Rueben is killed in a police standoff and Monahan has to deal with her feelings of loss.After her friend Andy is killed like Jeffrey Dahmer, they figure out that the killer is Peter Foley. As the police get to his house, they realize that it was a ruse and he's kidnapped Helen, placing her back into the same crime scene she was in 18 months before. Will Monahan be able to save her friend? Will Dr. Hudson be able to deal with her crippled agoraphobia?This is a fine 90's crime drama, with Connick quite good in his role. Weaver has stated that of all her films, she was most proud of Copycat, as she worked hard to understand how an agoraphobic would behave and she's regretted that the movie is not better remembered.

badoli The screenplay is so dull, the actors just can't make it worthwile. Holly Hunter has a far bigger acting spectrum than what this role asks of her. Sigourney Weaver gets some great moments and fails in others for the weak script. But the worst are the antagonists, who are mostly not more than stereotypical creeps. As a post-"Silence of the Lambs"-movie, that's just not acceptable, neither of these dumb villains could hold a candle to the terrifying Hannibal Lecter. While the screenplay obviously took that classic as a reference, it fails to capture the essence of what made it good.What really makes the movie unbearable though are the campy mid-1990 details. The gay couple is cartoonishly gay. The detectives treat the policemen hillariously like children. And the portrayal of computers aren't handled authentically in any way, shape or form. What would be okay in a screwball comedy is killing the atmosphere in this wannabe-serious police thriller.Watch it if you're really bored.

capone666 CopycatIf you are going to imitate a serial killer mimic one who has never been caught.Sadly, none of the murderers in this psychological thriller copy the Zodiac Killer. When dead bodies start appearing around San Francisco, Inspector Monahan (Holly Hunter) and her partner (Dermot Mulroney) seek the expertise of a renowned criminal psychology, Dr. Hudson (Sigourney Weaver), who became a shut-in after she was attacked by a serial killer, Cullum (Harry Connick Jr.).But when the new maniac's MO matches Cullum's, Hudson must face her jailed assailant in order to prevent the copycat from concluding Cullum's work before they get to her.With solid acting - save for Connick Jr. - and a twist filled script that keeps you guessing, this 1995 cat and mouse caper also offers up much insight into the methodical mind of a serial killer. Nevertheless, plagiarizing other murderers will not win you a Stabby Award. Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

Uriah43 "Helen Hudson" (Sigourney Weaver) is a renowned psychologist who has done extensive work in the field of serial killers. So when one of her subjects named "Daryll Lee Cullum" (Harry Connick Jr.) escapes she is afforded police protection because she is considered his next target. Sure enough, he attacks her immediately after a speech at a college which later results in severe emotional impairment even though Daryll was apprehended and returned to prison. Not long afterward another serial killing begins and "Detective M.J. Monahan" (Holly Hunter) is assigned to investigate. This leads her to Helen who becomes an invaluable resource in tracking down the serial killer. Unfortunately, this also results in the serial killer targeting both of them as well. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that while I enjoyed it I must also admit that one or two scenes seemed a bit implausible. But I suppose that's to be expected from Hollywood. In any case, I liked the performance of Holly Hunter and overall I rate this movie as slightly above average.
