Bad Company Reviews
Stylish and self-conscious
This sexy, stylish thriller has a murky plot that plumbs deeper and deeper into corruption and double-dealing, bribery and murder. The plot has many twists and turns, some of which seemed contrived, but the film is interesting and the three principle characters make it work, even though the movie has a self-conscious look and feel to it. Ellen Barkin's Margaret Wells is a black widow, cold and calculating and personifies the film's title. She's tough, dangerous and not to be trusted. The wild card in this film is Julie Ames, the attractive mistress of a California State Supreme Court justice, and she's aware of the judge's gambling problems and his compromised ethics but nevertheless stands behind her man. The grateful, financially secure, globetrotting, wardrobe-conscious Julie disappears only to reappear later in the film with a very different attitude and purpose. None of the characters in the movie are likeable and all have different agendas, and in the end, everybody seems to get what's coming to them.
Barkin, Fishburne Out for Blood...
...forget the overused plot line of cross and doublecross in this 1990's noir like thriller. Watch Barkin and Fishburne do some serious sneering and smirking as the plot gets twisted and contorted and convoluted...Beach and the two gov't agents are so sleezy you can see the greed dripping from their pores. Good movie.
