Not since Kathleen Turner set her sights on William Hurt in Body Heat, has seduction and manipulation been showcased better than in this raunchy page turner

Critic's Notebook

The movie is a spirited attempt at modern film noir, and huge parts of it are enjoyable.

What Sharon Stone did for the ice pick, Linda Fiorentino does for the ice princess.

It's an entertaining and caustically humorous thriller if you like that sort of thing.

An updated noir thriller that decisively puts the fatale back into femme fatale.

[A] well-paced, cleverly written and quite diabolical thriller.

Fiorentino lights up this stylish noir classic and breaths new, menacing life into the femme fatale role. Barbara Stanwyck would be proud.

Linda Fiorentino turns in a sharp performance as perhaps the screen's nastiest femme fatale, ever.

Combustible Celluloid

An amoral black comedy-noir with a selfish and ruthless heroine (wonderfully played by Linda Fiorentino) that joins the ranks of Mary Astor (Maltese Falcon) Stanwyck(Double Indemnity), and Kathlees Turner (Body Heat).

[A] tortuous, well-acted, witty, crisply photographed and immensely enjoyable thriller.

Dahl's best film to date with twists galore and an energised performance from Fiorentino.
