I loved how you were able to capture this classic noir femme fatale! I especially appreciated your insights into a "type of guy who cannot process the concept of a woman having agency" and who wants to save women.
We've never met before, but I'm a huge fan of your work. I can only hope to be this insightful, smart, funny, and engaging in my own writing one day.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. It’s a perfect homage to the 1950s noir films, replicating all the elements to a T. Basinger is electric in the role, an obvious target for the affection cast upon her by the characters. There’s no one to admire in this movie, all flawed like you said, but that’s part of the greatness of the film. You hope you’ll see justice for those wronged. But it’s not the justice you want, but the kind that fits the story.

I've never seen this movie. It seems difficult to me to find/purchase film these days. Never know what you're going to get in terms of quality.
