Paced, musing NY city mystery
This NY city piece starts sneakily with its characters but eventually unfolds in the first 40 minutes with both the characters and the basis of the plot. Once the characters and plot are established it turns into a quasi mystery who-dunnit. Nice to watch but not so intriguing and edgy as typical thriller movies with the who-dunnit theme. The sub plot of the media exciting the serial-killer story is a very good study. That, alone, is worth the time.
Oh Dear!
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.
Low calorie crime-lite flick
"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.
Good film, but perfect Scott Glenn!!
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.
A killer Xmas = A Killer 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!
