Whomst among us would have said no? The human capacity to be taken for a ride is astounding.
Welcome to the 80s: sex, money, and sweat. Maximum amounts of each. In our obsession with the eternal return it's time to update one of the country's core DNA narratives — the twisty, cynical, can-almost-see-the-shape-of-it film noir — add skin, add somehow even further moral ambiguity, add switchy subs and doms, et voila! You've got a recipe that will power the erotic thriller for a decade.
Kathleen Turner in her debut film role (astonishing) and William Hurt riding his shine from another HFC-fave ALTERED STATES slither and pounce and scheme their way through Lawrence Kasdan's retelling of DOUBLE INDEMNITY and the movies have never been the same. Come sizzle with us and pick up some lines to kick off a steamy situation of your own... "You're not too smart. I like that in a man."
