L'ultima seduzione

Clay Gregory borrows some money to buy drugs and sell them on at profit. However his wife steals the profit and flees – leaving him with the loan shark to pay off. Bridget ends up in a small town where she hooks up with Mike Swale (her designated f***). She uses him to hide from Clay private detectives but it's only a matter of time before she's found and she begins to plan a way to use Mike's love to get out of trouble.

It's rare that a film has a strong female lead and is successful – female roles are hard to come by. Here this film is based around the ultimate femme fatale (or b***h as she's called here) and the story is clever and sexy. Bridget appears to be cold and manipulative – and every frame of the film confirms that. The story is clever and twisty – very enjoyable, right up to the end where you can't help but feel sorry for anyone that tries to stop her getting her way.

Fiorento is excellent and has yet to get as good a role since. She is sexy and manipulative and totally believable. Berg is good as the backwater boy who gets taken for a ride. Bill Pullman is good in a smaller role (he only once is seen outside of his apartment). While Bill Nunn and J.T. Walsh (when will I stop feeling his loss?) add class in roles that almost count as cameos they are so small.

Dark, wicked, sexy and intelligently twisty. Modern noir at it's best….but did we really need a sequel?
