Includes: Extended Director’s Cut, John Dahl commentary, Making Of documentary and Fallen Angels TV episode....
Virtuoso revamping of the film noir genre, with a clever, tightly written, witty script, taut direction and a splendidly tart performance from Fiorentino.
"...A devilishly entertaining crime story with a heroine who must be seen to be believed....A gripping story and a tight, suspenseful directorial style..."
Wonderful script! And a sexy but wholly convincing performance from the delicious Linda Fiorentina. Oh, and then there's the ending too!
This is a great, pitch-black film with Linda Florentino (think that's the correct spelling) with a career-best performance as a black widow-style thief and murderess. After making off with stacks of cash from her pathetic husband she gradually concocts a scheme to...but that would be spoiling it. Part of the fun of this film (and it is incredibly, blackly funny) is watching the main character spin everyone around her little finger, never once showing weakness or cowardice. You won't agree or sympathise with her (she's never anything but pretty repellent) but you also slightly admire her in a kind of twisted way.
I enjoyed this film but unfortunately the dvd I got through the post wasn't the best quality - the background music, for the first half of the film at least, was so loud I could hardly hear what the characters were saying! Which spoilt the film a bit and it why I've only given it 3 stars instead of 4.
