I know this is off topic but, I couldn't stop staring at her hair the whole time. That perfect over grown bob swishing around effortlessly, surely I wasn't the only one?

A quite brilliant neo-noir. Linda Fiorentino was amazing and just ridiculously sexy.
Siskoid
Linda Fiorentino burns up the screen as the worst person in the world in The Last Seduction, a wicked Neo-Noir thriller with a jaunty jazz soundtrack about a woman who double-crosses her husband after a drug deal and hides out in a small town until she can spend the money. Can she get her new bumpkin boyfriend to kill her husband (a smarmy Bill Pullman), or has she miscalculated along the way? In traditional Noir, the femme fatale enters the protagonist's life all sex and tears, and treachery eventually ensues. But what happens when the fatale IS the protagonist? If we follow HER. That's what The Last Seduction does, all without making Fiorentino's character sympathetic. We want her to succeed (to a point anyway) because she's the heroine, but only the overtones of black comedy make it palatable, probably. Then again, I was always drawn to great cons, and this definitely fits the bill. Hot hot hot.
