The Laser Man is one of those quirky late '80s flicks that toes the line between crime and comedy. It features this oblivious scientist who gets tangled up with mobsters trying to whip up a laser weapon. You get a real sense of the offbeat humor and satirical take on the crime genre. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that adds to its charm—like watching a train wreck in slow motion. The practical effects are pretty amusing, especially given the budget. Performances are a mixed bag, but there’s something about that earnestness that makes it feel genuine. Overall, it’s one of those oddball gems that makes you scratch your head and chuckle at the same time.
