As noir as black gets. Stanwyck makes a stunning performance as the femme fatale who bends a man's mind and twists his heart. Even the experienced, cynical insurance salesman (McMurray) cannot evade her irresistible spell. Carefully planning a near-perfect murder is one thing, following through"straight down the line" is another, especially as tension & pressure skyrocket, while confidence in your shady accomplice erodes over time. The relationship between the MC and the other secondary characters is well fleshed out, in particular with the claims director (Robinson), a sharp and impetuous force of nature who cares more than he shows. Was the dame truly changed in the end? Hard to decide.

开头和结尾都特别戳人。真实而残酷的现实，看了心酸。虽然最后真相会大白，正义也会被伸张，但一条鲜活的生命却再也不会回来。希望大家都能关注到校园霸凌和对青少年的性侵犯。祝所有人平安。

96分钟加长版。福奎阿的处女作，同时也是周润发去好莱坞发展的首作，他的伯乐吴宇森和经纪人张家振则担任监制。主线自然是老港动作片的风格，义薄云天的孤胆杀手不愿意对老弱妇孺下手，因而调转枪头对准生性邪恶的幕后老板，俗是有点俗但还不算难看。而细节上则有些黑人编导天生的幽默感，除了索维诺的角色被塑造为混迹街头多年的贫嘴小妞之外（她这个角色换个满口俚语的黑妞来演也毫无违和感），正反双方都有些冷不丁的吐槽很有意思（「他的真名确实叫约翰李」）。动作场面则在吴宇森监制的加持下显得非常吴宇森，又滑铲闪躲又双枪齐发又无限子弹的，但结局霓虹灯招牌下的大雨明显是来自《银翼杀手》了。发哥的表演并不费力，毕竟这种角色他也算驾轻就熟了。大胡子的鲁克我完全没认出来，曾江还真是低成本好莱坞电影的亚洲黑帮教父首选。

北影节观影片单里第一部也应该是唯一一部自始至终充满纯粹的快乐的电影。愿坚持热爱的人都能如这个不懂普通的少女一样元气满满！

a crazy story with a crazy twist！后半段尤其精彩，点烟的镜头是妙笔。那时的人调情真是大胆啊～
