Good story and acting. If you didn't love Connelly before, you will after seeing this film.

Noir throwbacks were pretty popular after Body Heat, and this isn't one of the better examples from the period, despite the solid cast and appropriately sleepy town setting, which Hopper never takes full advantage of. The visual style helps convey the feeling of heat, but the film doesn't generate much tension, and while the female leads are sexy, the scenes of nudity and sex aren't particularly steamy. Hopper's problems with pacing are also especially noticeable in this languid context.

An off-kilter noirish thing, which is a kind of movie that was being made around this time with some frequency. I tend to enjoy them.

a funny and semi-hallucinatory little small-town noir, one of those that seems a thousand miles away from any kind of outside world. hard to forget that 360ish pan during the storm, or a pair of sequences involving lakes, but even if i did, my groin ain't ever gonna let me forget the "love" triangle at the film's centre. spoiler alert, but is this the happiest ending in the history of noir? doomed to fuck virginia madsen for all eternity, no wonder the dude's laughing before the credits roll.

Treads the same kind of ground as The Postman Always Rings Twice. Aimless drifter in a sleepy hick town, gets tangled up with his boss's nympho wife... there are some notable differences, but it still feels like something you've seen before. Jennifer Connelly provides a nice counterpoint to Virginia Madsen's unhinged femme fatale act, but other than that it's pretty unremarkable.

This film takes awhile to get going but the script eventually has some good twists and makes things more interesting. The cast does a good job with their roles. Overall I would recommend this film.

I really love 3/4 of this film, and still like the final act that I think is needlessly convoluted and largely abandons what was so fun about the rest of the film. It's a really slow burn, but it has so much nudity, heat, gorgeous characters and fun dialogue that it veers on the edge of self-parody without ever teetering over the brink.
