Movie Reviews of The Last Seduction
Movie Review: Noir, but with a difference
Summary: 5 Stars
This fine film is a Noir but with a critical difference: the femme fatale gets away with it. Sorry about the spoiler! But the point is instructive, as a perusal of the film noirs of a generation ago always end with the femme fatale getting her comeuppance. This was likely due to the prevailing cultural norms would not stand for a smart woman using brains and sex to get what she wanted. Scary! So now we have this vicious Bridget eating the hapless Mike alive and getting her brutal revenge on her equally snake-like husband. I don't think she's a likeable or admirable character but deep down I'm thinking "yesss!!!". A very provocative movie (in every sense of the word) with excellent performances and great old-style noir dialogue, updated for our current world.Movie Review: Brilliant Movie, Horrible Transfer
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I'm biased to this movie because I took a seminar from the director and consider this one of the best neo-noir movies ever made. I'm writing this review to comment on the DVD quality. For some reason, the DVD aspect ratio is 1:33, your standard pan and scan, but I know the widescreen version exists because John Dahl showed it to us at the seminar. This movie was shot in 1:85 and should be presented in the original format. I also agree with other reviewers who state the transfer needs remastering. The contrast was very flat compared to the what I remember which I can only account to digital compression (although I don't know enough about the transfer process to say for sure). Here's hoping a widescreen remastered version is eventually released.Movie Review: Modern Noir At It's Best
Summary: 5 Stars
When you think of film noir, you think of the wonderful dark movies made in the 1940's with thugs, and "dames", and vamps. I don't think there has ever been a better vamp than Linda Fiorentino in this movie. Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice and Kathleen Turner in Body Heat might come close, but first prize belongs to Linda for her performance as Bridget Gregory in The Last Seduction. Bridget is a woman with a warm exterior that has ice water running through her veins, who believes in manipulating others into doing her dirty work for her. Great supporting performances by Peter Berg and Bill Paxton, but the movie belongs to Linda Fiorentino. You'll love to hate her in this dark erotic thriller that will take your breath away.Movie Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
This flick is a must-have for every Fiorentino fan. Dahl's signature is evident here, since the style is very much "Red Rock West", but only in an urban setting. By the way, what's up with complaining about the full-screen and giving it one star? This was a cable release - it was supposed to be that way!In terms of the plot, this movie is a ride. Don't even try to predict the turn of events - Dahl will be ahead of the curve every time.
Get this movie while you can. It can be out of print for years.
Movie Review: love to hate...
Summary: 5 Stars
what a great movie... one of the most amazing film noirs out there... Linda Fiorentino is killer in this movie.. sadly most of the time she is often miscasted in movies.This is the role of a life time and one of the few roles that people would be cheering for the evil guys.. girl in this case...
She is so cool in this movie.. the good guys are just plain stupid.
