Starts off schlocky with the lesbian seduction angle (which is somehow both totally exploitative and also vital to the story's development) but once the actual plot gets moving it doesn't let up. Sure it's pretty basic stuff -- your usual mafia double-cross caper type thing -- but it is completely engaging and unobtrusively stylish.

The title and poster made me think this was some kinky lesbian film, and I'm afraid others may have the same impression, which is shame. This is a smart and effective noir thriller. Gershon and Tilly not only have chemistry, but they show they can act. Joe Pantoliano is solid in this, too. Don't miss it!

This movie does a lot of things well. Jennifer Tilly is awesome, some of the visuals are really cool, and the chemistry between the main characters is even believable. But the screenplay is just not that interesting. The dialogue is awkward, the plot is tired and poorly paced. It's a sad waste of some considerable talent, and a few rewrites may have made it great.

Gina Gershon = one hot lezzzzbo.

Not many movies are this good and this hot at the same time. Tilly and Gershon steam up the screen but somehow the film itself still holds up

A sexy crime thriller with Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon as lesbians and Joey Pants as a mafia lieutenant in trouble with the law and his boss. Be on the look out for the proto-bullettime sequence.

Watchable the whole way through, but not enough for me to want to seek it out again. Original plot and interesting characters make this thriller stand out among its many cookie-cutter peers.

wachowskis, the saint patrons of macro photography pull no punches with their debut. it's pretty understandable why this movie never hit the radar after matrix, since it's got some raunchy girl on girl action no major studio would endorse. gershon is perfect as the butch, so is tilly as the vamp mistress. their chemistry is quite palpable, then again i'm no lesbian. the transition from lovers to partners in crime is a bit half baked, but still the film's full of style and some iconic characters.

Simple entertainment. Not bad.

Well thought out.

pre-matrix mob film by the wachowskis that showed they had the talent. tight script and well directed. gershon and tilly were great together and pantaliano was fantastic as the weaselly Caesar.

Very well done suspense with great cinematography - the contrasting choices of colors was delightful.

Very sexy.

I wish Hitchchock could see it! And Jennifer Tilly's role is one of those I would love to play! And yes Wachowski Brothers' best!
