An incredible neo-noir film, with touches of satirical comedy and loaded with provocative sensuality.

There are many films that revolve around fatal women, who use sensuality and seduction for obscure purposes. In fact, there are even women in real life who do it skillfully. In the film before us, we will face perhaps one of the most perverse and diabolical female minds that cinema has ever known.

In fact, I have no other adjectives for Bridget Gregory, a woman who looks angelic and the kind of wife our mother always dreamed of for us, until we see her dark side. The film elaborates a web of intrigue and malice where Bridget is the main character, the spider in the middle of the web, ready to devour his male prey. She was married to a guy who traffics in drugs, but decides to run away and take with her a huge amount of trafficking money, which infuriates her husband (any husband, I think). She hides in a small town where she decides to settle down without being noticed. She meets Mike Swale and quickly becomes involved with him, to the point of convincing him to kill her husband... without him knowing that he is, in fact, her husband.

The success of the film is largely based on a well-written script by Steve Barancik and a very intelligent direction by John Dahl. Some scenes, like the bar scene where Mike tries to seduce Bridget and ends up seduced by her, are truly anthological, and although this is not a very explicit film (some teen films show much more skin than this one), it gives us with some of the most perverse and hotest sex scenes in cinema (regular commercial cinema, I'm not taking into account porn films), not so much for what it shows but for the intensity, beauty and commitment of the cast.

In the middle of the cast only one name stands out and it is around him that the whole film is built: Linda Fiorentino got, with this film, the most remarkable work of her career. She is viciously wicked, cruel, cynical, malevolent and highly seductive. The way she worked on the character is almost palpable. Bill Pullman and Peter Berg are also very good and interact perfectly with Fiorentino, but she is the one who carries the lead and makes the whole movie work.

Being a film that is a neo-noir with touches of satirical comedy in the middle, the most notable technical aspect is clearly cinematography, which wisely uses light and shadow. However, it is not a film as dark as most noir films, nor as dark in the way it approaches themes. The comedy is there, the satire is present and it lightens the atmosphere, makes the film more fun and less dense. The dialogues are incredible and deserve our full attention, as well as the scenarios and the superb soundtrack, by Joseph Vitarelli.

Linda Fiorentino is a great femme fatale

In most cases a film's protagonist will have some redeeming features; not here though Linda Fiorentino plays Bridget; a woman with a heart of ice. Wanting to move up in the world she gets her dentist husband to sell pharmaceutical cocaine which nets them three quarters of a million dollars. He makes a big mistake though; he hits her and she walks off with the lot. Knowing he'll come looking for her she leaves New York and drives till she runs out of fuel. She finds herself in the small town of Beston and goes to the local bar and meets Mike, a man who dreamt of leaving the town but after his marriage went wrong in Buffalo returned. It doesn't take long for her to get into his bed and, after talking to her lawyer, she decides to stay in Beston. Now going by the name of Wendy Kroy she contacts her husband not expecting him to be able to trace the call. Now she must find away to get rid of him permanently! She works at an insurance company with Mike and comes up with an idea to make money… identify rich cheating husbands and the call the wives offering to kill the cheats! Mike is understandable less than keen and when he sees evidence that she has been to Miami he confronts her… she tells him she had been paid to kill one such man and shows him a brief case full of money; now it is his turn.

Linda Fiorentino was fantastic as Bridget/Wendy, her character may be manipulative, murderous and thoroughly unpleasant she is a delight to watch and the viewer may find themselves rooting for her in a way they never would in real life! She is able supported by Bill Pullman who played her husband and Peter Berg who played the in-over-his-head Mike. The story is entertaining and as the final scene arrives the viewer will realise that Bridget was even more devious that initially suggested; that takes some doing. I would certainly recommend this neo noir thriller; just don't expect a nice heroine!

Bad Woman, Bad Message, Intriguing Noir

Yikes, talk about a nasty woman! Man, few modern-day actresses come across this film-noir tough as Linda Fiorentino. She's brutal: ill-mannered, foul- mouthed, has no principles, a totally twisted view of life and no conscience. Other than that, she's a nice girl.

Even worse than her is the ending of the film, in which this totally-evil woman gets away with her deeds. Yes, a happy ending for the bad guys and, boy, do the sick critics love that. Thus, you'll never a see bad review from Maltin, Ebert or the boys. They love it when evil prevails.

Fiorentino is supposed to be sexy but, speaking personally, I don't find a skinny woman with no figure, a husky voice with a foul mouth and an "attitude" sexy in the least bit.

Yet, having said all of the above, the movie was very interesting and somewhat involving. Once it starts, it's tough to put down. Peter Berg plays a small-town sap who is captivated by this beast from Hell and pays for it.

This is about as tough as modern-day film noir gets, a mean-edged flick with no sympathetic characters.....but it can be fascinating to watch, wondering what this woman is going to do next.
