Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not worth a peep
I'm a great fan of Michael Caine and found myself watching two of his movies, back to back, on a recent NW flight across the Pacific - the 2007 Flawless (excellent) and this one, the little known 1975 movie, Peeper. What a contrast, and not to the benefit of Peeper.
The movie has a shambolic plot and poor acting - taking the most affected elements of 1930s/1940s style acting and hamming them up in a disfunctional manner that detracts from rather than adds to the viewer's enjoyment. ... Read More
Rating: - Painful
There are some stylish production touches and the DVD looks good, but this is nearly unwatchable. Is it screwball or noir? The jokes fall flat and there's no real tension. Caine and Wood are okay, but everyone else is playing to the back row. (The climax's eerie foreshadowing of Wood's death doesn't exactly add to the enjoyment.)
Rating:  - Never had a chance
Every man has a wonderful idea that absolutely will not work. Judging by his track record, director Peter Hyams has had several.
As the film itself strongly implies and as the attached interviews with Hyams make explicit, "Peeper" was intended as a loving re-creation of a noir-ish hard-boiled detective film.

Rating: - Peepers, Creepers
I am a huge Michael Caine AND Natalie Wood fan since the Mid-Sixties and I have never heard of this movie til it came out on DVD. How could such an ideal movie match-up escape me? This looks on the outset that it could rival the chemistry of Gambit. Our stars do deliver: Caine is still slim and Harry Palmerish and Natalie is stunningly beautiful. No question they work great together. But the problem about this mystery is the plot: the scenes keep going by and I don't really know what is the point. ... Read More
Rating:  - Peeper the sleeper
The is an underappreciated movie starring Michael Caine as the private detective (Peeper) and the always stunning Natalie Wood. Give it a try.
