Loved this film. But then, I always love Holly Hunter and Sigourney Weaver. It's wonderful to watch their interesting characters and electric pairing as co-leads - plus their growing friendship - that drives and carries the story in this film. The fact that they work together to take down a serial killer (a great story in itself) is actually secondary to their stellar performances in this refreshing, original thriller.

Almost - but not. Great acting by Sigorney Weaver and an appropriate music score. The plot started out well and I was pretty terrified, gripped by the drama - and then it went silly. I know it's a fictional story but no need to be so inplausible and ridiculous. It changed from being an exciting thriller into a black comedy and I felt short changed.

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

Copycat is an interesting movie. The plot is about a serial killer who mimics famous American serial killers, which is a frighteningly believable scenario in real life. The main protagonist (Weaver) is a tormented psychiatrist, who suffers from agoraphobia as a result of a near-fatal attempt on her life by a serial killer. The intricate back story draws the viewer in almost immediately. The pacing of Copycat is just right, sometimes crawling (and thereby building anticipation), and sometimes moving at a frantic speed, when things actually happen. The characters of Weaver and Holly Hunter appear realistic, and makes me think that several investigators/forensic profilers were involved in the process of creating them. I recommend watching this movie to everyone who likes cerebral chillers.
