Plot
A lazy Florida lawyer is seduced by a married woman and drawn into a plot to kill her husband.
Sinekatalog’s take
Lawrence Kasdan's steamy modern noir is a sweaty, sexy Florida thriller. William Hurt and Kathleen Turner crackle, and the film's heat and double-crosses make it a smart homage to classic film noir.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
