Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.co.uk Review
ISomeone to Watch Over Me/I is a stylish, smart Ifilm noir/I directed by Ridley Scott (IBlade Runner/I). The movie stars Tom Berenger as a New York cop and family man who falls for the rich and beautiful witness (Mimi Rogers) he's assigned to protect. Scott, who always displays a distinctive eye for extraordinary art direction, does something here he should be doing a lot more often: directing contemporary Inoir/I. Berenger and Rogers rise to the occasion, seemingly aware that they're making something special. --ITom Keogh, Amazon.com/I

Guard That Body! March 25, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Well-made, well-photographed but ultimately so-so thriller about a detective from the NYPD who lives with wife and son in a rundown part of Queens and is assigned to guard a millionairess who lives in a palatial apartment in midtown Manhattan. Not much in the plot or its working-out will surprise.

Contemporary Noir At Its Best! April 1, 2004
12 out of 12 found this review helpful

.brSomeone To Watch Over Me is a rare film. Noir is a genre seldom visited by filmmakers in modern movies, but the director Ridley Scott makes a convincing case for a wider contemporary airing.pTom Berenger plays a street-wise but flawed detective assigned to protect a witness - a wealthy and beautiful socialite, played by Mimi Rogers. As the plot develops the pair are drawn deeper into danger and intrigue within a strata of society alien to Berengers' character. The plot is complicated by the danger created through their strong attraction despite the detective being married.pBetter known perhaps for seminal films such as Alien and Blade Runner, Scott directed this movie with just as much panache and sophistication. The film announces itself as a visually stunning, atmospheric and stylish thriller right from the first shot - a classic and often copied (but never equalled) swooping helicopter pan over a night-time New York. Performances are assured and convincing with Mimi Rogers providing ample quantities of the female glamour required in any film noir. The clever occasional use of period locations not only adds atmosphere but gives a nod to the era in which this genre evolved.pOverall this is a very satisfying, and taut thriller from one of the truly great directors. If you appreciate quality filmmaking this will certainly not disappoint. Recommended.

Call it 3.5 stars April 4, 2003
3 out of 8 found this review helpful

Not really one of Ridley Scott's best movies although it's fair to say both he and his cast are hamstrung by a rather lacklustre script. He, along with main cast members Mimi Rogers and Tom Berenger, do the best they can in an otherwise edgy and stylishly shot piece of modern film noir where a married NY cop falls for an attractive young socialite. You'll have seen better but you will have also seen far, far worse as well.
