Whew. Linda Fiorentino is like a home-grown apocalyptic nightmare as the sizzling, sexy dame who thinks "sharing" is a dirty word. Fiorentino, a master of the double-cross, hooks up with naive Peter Berg, a nice guy desperate for a little adventure. There are endless twists to this cleverly vicious story, but the real draw is Fiorentino, whose performance is brilliant. She is the Everywoman you never want to meet: cool as ice, passionate, tough, self-satisfied, smart, and amoral. Bill Pullman is a surprise as a Machiavellian doctor who is almost her match. Definitely not a date flick, as this represents one vicious battle in the sexual wars. --Rochelle O'Gorman

 no closed caption December 27, 2008
George M. Montgomery Jr. (Little Rock, Ar USA)
If this DVD has closed captioning it doesn't show up in the menu and I am too dumb to find it I tried on 3 different players including a PS3.
while this does not affect most people those of us who have to use CC quiet offten base our choice on the availabilty of CC, which this DVD indicates it has.

The Last Seduction (John Dahl, 1994)
That John Dahl's made-for-cable flick The Last Seduction ever got a theatrical release-- after its cable debut-- is pretty remarkable. That it subsequently wound up on any list of the thousand-best films ever made is astonishing. That it ended up on four of the ten lists of this type of whose existence I am currently aware is the stuff of Hollywood legend.
It's about Bridget Gregory (Linda Fiorentino, recently of Liberty Stands Still), a nasty sort who first ruins her husband's life, then heads off into the sunset, landing by chance in the tiny town of Beston, New York. In Beston, she hopes to lay low until her divorce is final, but two things prevent that from happening. One is that her husband would like the $700,000 she stole from him back, and hires a private investigator (Bill Nunn, from the Spider-Man franchise) to track her down. The other is her own nature; she can't exist somewhere without conning someone. So she gets involved with a local guy, Mike Swale (Smokin' Aces' Peter Berg), using the insurance company they both work for to look for women who might be better off with their husbands six feet underground.
I have to say that five minutes into this, I didn't think I was going to like it. The opening is far too slow-paced and talky, especially for a scene that exists simply to set up the main conflict in the movie. It could've been done in half the time. Once the movie actually gets going, though, it's a great deal of fun. Fiorentino owns this character; it's widely believe that, had the movie not shown on HBO before getting a theatrical release, Fiorentino would have nabbed an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. And while it takes some time for all the pieces of the plot to get set up, once it starts rolling, it's got momentum to spare. (Fans of The Usual Suspects will recognize the plot structure here, I'm sure.) I still don't think it's Dahl's best work-- Rounders is pretty tough to beat-- but it's certainly much better than its initial lack of distribution would convey. ***

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.

Well done double, triple and quad-triple crossing film. A little slow, but all the actors were convincing in their parts, good twist at the end and you probably already know who gets away with it, but I enjoyed it. Linda should do more movies, she's a young Siguorney Weaver type, slim, smart and sexy. Enjoy!
