The Plot\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bridget (Fiorentino) convinces her husband Clay (Pullman), to steal a load of pharmaceutical cocaine and then sell it to a drug dealer.\u00a0 When Clay comes home with $700,000 he thinks their troubles are over.\u00a0 Once he pays off his loan shark,\u00a0 he and Bridget will still have well over a half million dollars.<\/p>\n

While Clay is showering, Bridget steals the money and takes off.\u00a0 She decides to lay low in a small town under an assumed name.\u00a0 Bridget learns Clay has hired a Private Investigator to find her, Now needs a plan to get away clean and fast.<\/p>\n

When Bridget meets Mike Swale (Berg) she comes up with the perfect idea,\u00a0 The plan is devious and will kill the lives it doesn’t ruin.\u00a0 Bridget can’t wait to get started.<\/p>\n

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

I saw The Last Seduction<\/em> when it was first released.\u00a0 I rated it a 4 then. This re-watch earned a 3.\u00a0 The Last Seduction<\/em> is good, but not as good as I had remembered.\u00a0 I think the reason for the lower rating is I’m older.\u00a0 When I was younger it was easier to believe that Mike could be so taken by the great sex and mystery of Bridget that he left reason behind.<\/p>\n

The director, John Dahl was on a roll when he helmed The Last Seduction<\/em>.\u00a0 His two previous films were Kill Me Again<\/em> and Red Rock West<\/em>.\u00a0 He co-wrote both as well.<\/p>\n

The Last Seduction<\/em> features standout performances from\u00a0 Linda Fiorentino, Peter Berg, Bill Pullman and Bill Nunn. A young Dean “Breaking Bad”<\/em> Norris also has a small role. (He also had hair!)<\/p>\n

The Last Seduction <\/em><\/strong>(1994) <\/span>rates 3 of 5 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n
