Linda Fiorentino turns in a sharp performance as perhaps the screen's nastiest femme fatale, ever.

[A] tortuous, well-acted, witty, crisply photographed and immensely enjoyable thriller.

If we're left appalled and slack-jawed at Bridget's no-mercy survival skills, it's because we find ourselves admiring her a little as well.

Dahl has fun with this material, filming the modern-day noir potboiler with such gusto that it's impossible not to fall under its spell, nor under the influence of its sultry, completely conscienceless leading lady.

John Dahl has established himself as a candidate for the title 'current king of the neo-noir.'

Perhaps the most vicious and heartless femme fatale in screen history.

A movie that is not only ingenious and entertaining, but liberating, because we can sense the story isn't going to be twisted into conformity with some stupid formula.

Pretty obviously shot for the small screen, but the real problem is the horribly derivative screenplay.

Fiorentino plows through this movie with a nihilistic get-out-of-my-way passion that instantly melts any objections to the occasionally farfetched plot.

Just as Bridget runs over the men in her life, Fiorentino takes control of this movie and just goes her own way at full-throttle.

What Sharon Stone did for the ice pick, Linda Fiorentino does for the ice princess.

A movie so breathtakingly vile it has to seen twice to be savored fully.

Dahl gives us Linda Fiorentino as the baddest of the bad women, the most full-blown yet utterly believable femme fatale to come along in years.

Fiorentino makes this film as exciting a thriller as we have seen this year.

An amoral black comedy-noir with a selfish and ruthless heroine (wonderfully played by Linda Fiorentino) that joins the ranks of Mary Astor (Maltese Falcon) Stanwyck(Double Indemnity), and Kathlees Turner (Body Heat).

Fiorentino's performance and screenwriter Steve Barancik's tightly-coiled narrative provide a riveting look at desire, sex, and theft in the big city.

Mr. Dahl was good to begin with, and now he's badder and better.

Dahl makes a smart follow-up to Red Rock West with another striking piece of contemporary film noir.

Dahl's best film to date with twists galore and an energised performance from Fiorentino.
