John Dahl directs Linda Fiorentino, Peter Berg and Bill Pullman in this neo-noir where a woman on the run rules the men in her life with an iron cunt.

A once in a lifetime lead role for Fiorentino. Her Bridget Gregory is a middle class Catherine Tramell. Willing to do anything to win, often exploiting her sexuality over the weak men she can use as a stepping stone, mouth like a marine. Phwoar! Plot has some good twists too. Grainy on-location photography and a sweet noir-ish sax score.
