Rating: 4/4 -- Dressed to Kill remains a prime example of how De Palma is able to marry his awesome technical prowess to the material, using his dazzling feats of cinematic derring-do to propel his stories rather than bury their weaknesses. Full Review

Originality has never been a high value in the genre-bound aesthetic of filmmaking, but De Palma cheapens what he steals. Full Review

Dressed to Kill is, happily, a very well-made movie which utilizes its various New York City locales splendidly. Full Review

...[An] erotic and provocative thriller...

Dressed To Kill is a nail-biting, seat-squirming, stylish murder mystery with a brain. Full Review
Boston Globe
Apr 28, 2018
Rating: 3.5/4 -- A lurid film featuring throat-slashing, overheated lust, and a too-simple reduction of cross-dressing issues for pulpy purposes. But it also uses grand cinematic gestures to relay the dread and guilt of its characters to great effect. Full Review
