Movie Reviews of Black Widow
Movie Review: She mates and she kills...
Summary: 5 Stars
Fiesty Federal Investigator is hot on the trail of a husband-killer, but to catch her she has to think like the killer thinks and play her game...I would love to see a rematch of these two dynamite femme stars, Debra Winger and Theresa Russell. The movie world needs them. Russell, as an actress, generally lacks Winger's inner-fire, but some of her close-ups are more revealing than her dialogue anyway(watch for the scene on the beach after the scuba diving accident). In 1987, this was considered a modest hit which got generally good reviews(Roger Ebert panned it, however). So it's fair to say the movie is highly underrated and should be seen by anyone who loves a good mystery or a great acting match between two top-flight stars. Supporting performances are also very good, and the direction is tricky & tight right up until the final scene(which seems a little rushed). Great cinematography, suspenseful music by Michael Small, incredible Winger & Russell!Movie Review: Seduce, Ensnare, Devour...
Summary: 5 Stars
Alex Barnes (Debra Winger) is unsatisfied with her job in the justice department. She longs for intrigue and adventure, not mundane beaurocracy. Well, her wish for release is granted in the form of a female serial-murderer (Theresa Russell!) who preys on unsuspecting billionaires. Ms. Russell is the perfect bait, snare, and death-trap. She is a chameleon, assuming any identity necessary to trick her clueless victims. She is cunning, resourceful, and (most importantly) unhindered by conscience or remorse. Alex is absolutely captivated by this cold, lethal creature, to the point of obsession. She leaves everything else behind in order to track down and stop this merry BLACK WIDOW. Great stuff indeed! Watch for Terry O'Quinn (Stepfather 1 and 2) as Alex's boss, Dennis Hopper (Blue Velvet) as a doomed toy magnate, and the immortal Mary Woronov (Death Race 2000, Night Of The Comet) as a scuba-instructor! Highly recommended...Movie Review: Two Fabulously Intriguing Women!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. It is aptly described as a psychological thriller because that is exactly what it is. You won't see a lot of fast-paced action and suspense. The entire film is a slow build up of psychological drama. You'll find yourself questioning the motives of each different character and watching with intrigue as Debra Winger's character begins to evolve. The tension between the two female leads is top notch. And there's a twist ending to top it all off!
It's definitely an 80's movie so the filming isn't always stellar and the storyline is a bit dated (also, for amusement, check out the computers in the FBI office!) Don't expect amazing cinematography or a fabulous soundtrack. But do expect a brilliant and seductive pyschological dance between two fantastic female leads.
Movie Review: Black Widow
Summary: 5 Stars
An attractive woman appears to have made her goal in life to marry rich men and collect the inheritance when they die. Nothing new there, except that to speed up the process she kills each of her husbands with a poison that leaves no trace. Hot on her trail is a keen female federal investigator who cannot convince people about the murders or that the same woman keeps inheriting the money. Winger and Russell are sensational here, characteristically different yet essentially the same in nature. The sinister plot trappings and black widow symbolism keep the movie lively. "Black Widow" is an unforgettable psychological thriller, worth watching again and again.
Movie Review: Superb script!
