If Looks Could Kill

About This Movie

If Looks Could Kill is an interesting blend of action and comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and it works, mostly. You've got Michael Corben, a typical high-school kid, who ends up mixed up in a spy game in France—definitely an odd setting for a teen flick. The pacing is pretty brisk, filled with clever gags and a few gadgets that wouldn't look out of place in a Bond film. There’s something enjoyable about seeing corny practical effects that don’t always land but add to the charm. Richard Grieco brings a youthful energy to the lead, though some might argue his performance is a bit over the top. Overall, it has that playful yet chaotic vibe that makes it a fun watch.
