Dressed To Kill (1980)
Solid thriller by Brian De Palma. While not a truly memorable movie, it does a very good job at creating suspense and keeping the viewer at the edge of his seat. The soundtrack is great and some scenes are very well filmed... it had a Hitchcock feel to it.
The cons? Well, the acting isn't great (not terrible either, just mediocre) and the film's quality is inconsistent (some brilliant suspense scenes followed by average and dull scenes later). The last 15 minutes are unnecessary too, but that's just imo. But over all, it's a good suspense thriller that's worth checking out if you enjoy the genre.
As a Giallo-nut I consider that film a masterpiece. Probably my favorite American contribution to the genre along with Still of the Night
