The thing about the villain in this movie is that he's Nicolas Cage from Vampire's Kiss
Patrick WillemsJan 5, 2016Those two eternal objects of film fetish girls and guns rarely being put to such good use. A genre film that remains great at generating thrills but mostly leaves basic narrative common sense (as well as things like believeble character behavior) behind for a near abstract…
Filipe Furtadowhen i saw jamie lee curtis going to police academy i thought it'd be fun & exciting, you know, like that movie "spaceballs," but instead, it was painful & disturbing, like that movie "blue steel"

Action! - Female 4 Front: The Bigelow's Kinetic Alphas Another film I'm viewing for the second time, and in many ways it holds up. Curtis continues to look fantastic and act well as this cop who, after discharging her firearm on a store robber, seeks to clear her record…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineSep 9, 2020All you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun. Discussed on Episode 44 of The Suspense is Killing Us.
matt lynchSep 21, 2022It's impossible to take Blue Steel seriously. I actually have a theory that 90% of the film doesn't take place in the real material world; this is a nightmare that a female police officer is having except we never get to see her wake up. When approached with this attitude,…

bigelow shoots to kill... booming sound effects, hypnagogic score, and chronic slow-motion render this study of the female subversion of man's fetish of authority almost abstract; close-ups apotheosize objects into large, looming figures, almost like something out of saul…
nadineFeb 23, 2021Behold! One of the most bizarre movies I ever encountered, which gets more and more surreal the deeper you get into things like its critical reception where Roger Ebert, out of all people, compared this to Halloween. WHAT?! Then there’s the cartoonish villain that hooks up…

The plot is a little of Fatal Attraction, a little of Jagged Edge and a little of Wall Street. It works because it's so audacious in combining elements that don't seem to belong together.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Blue Steel lacks sustained storytelling craftsmanship, and it never approaches the saturnine intensity of the film it sometimes recalls, Michael Mann’s Manhunter (the greatest thriller of the past decade). But it makes you eager to see what Bigelow could do with a good script.
