	The Last Seduction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Last Seduction is a film released to theaters in 1994 that stars Linda Fiorentino as the femme fatale, Peter Berg as a small-town man who's one night affair turns into more than he wanted and Bill Pullman as Fiorentino's husband who's chasing her and running from loan sharks at the same time.
		Fiorentino was considered a possible Oscar nominee for the film, but because the film was shown on cable television (HBO) before it was released to theaters in 1994, it was disqualified.
		The Last Seduction is a complicated story about a woman, Bridget Gregory, who steals a bag of money ($700,000) from her drug-dealing husband Clay.

		The only flaw in The Last Seduction is director John Dahl's indecision about what this film wanted to accomplish; at times Dahl seemed to be parodying up state new Yorkers, in much the same manner Fargo lampooned midwesterners, while at other times, he seemed to be trying hard for noir status.
		Once I realized that the rest of the characters in The Last Seduction were merely stereotypical characters, whose beliefs and stereotypes had been inflated to their maximum proportions, this film took on its comically understated flavor.
		The Last Seduction was enjoyable from several different perspectives, and with its dark script and a heaping plate of dry humor, easily outdistances the other "Let's Have Sex and Kill My Husband" movie, Body Heat.

		The last thing our society needed, I thought, was more men abandoning actual intimate relationships for casual one-night affairs.
		I was also highly skeptical of the fact that seduction was something that could be taught at all, and quite convinced that men trying to do so were essentially old-fashioned shysters trying to feed on - and exploit - the insecurity (and wallets) of other men.
		So when Seth Parker, one of my seduction instructors for the afternoon, explained that he might hit on me in a bookstore by wrapping up a magazine and bopping me on the head with it, I casually explained where I would have wanted to shove that magazine.

		To him, she's the love of his life, and he means to make her love him in return, regardless of the cost.
		The Last Seduction's dialogue, scripted by Steve Barancik and spoken by the likes of Fiorentino, Pullman, Berg, and J.T. Walsh, is scintillating, often hilarious, and occasionally insightful.
		The Last Seduction is an entertaining motion picture to immerse oneself in -- significant chunks of the plot fall apart on close examination, but it holds up well enough during the watching, and nothing can dispel the power of Fiorentino's performance.

		The main character in The Last Seduction is an extension of the Barbara Stanwyck femme fatale from the 1940's.
		One effective innovation is that The Last seduction exaggerates the characters so much that it adds a layer of fl comedy to the usual serious noir atmosphere.
		The Last Seduction is an erotic thriller staring Linda Fiorentino as the ultimate self-serving bitch.

		It would not be fair to "The Last Seduction" to say much more about the plot, which only gradually reveals itself even to Bridget (she has a gift of improvising, moving from one crime to another as a jazzman might sample various melodic lines).
		"The Last Seduction" is the second amazing film I've seen this year by John Dahl, whose "Red Rock West" was a sleeper hit in the late spring.
		Now comes "The Last Seduction," with the same story: Passed over by distributors, played on cable, etc. And then it opened in London and got some of the best reviews of the year.

		The obvious historical antecedent for "The Last Seduction" is "Double Indemnity," and when Bridget takes the name Wendy Kroy (look at it backwards) and starts working for an insurance company it is hard not to notice the similarities (that and she calls herself Mrs.
		With THE LAST SEDUCTION, though, there is a depraved and indifferent slant to romance which is both its blessing and curse.
		The Last Seduction was directed by John Dahl, and originally played on cable TV after being passed over by distributors.

		This fact proved unfortunate to Linda Fiorentino, as no matter how much the Oscars academy wanted to nominate her for her performance as Bridget, they weren't allowed due to the rules stating that a film must have its first showing in theatres in order to be eligible.
		This was a pity, as Fiorentino seems to effortlessly portray a character that manages to simultaneously ooze with attraction and yet repulse due to her extreme disregard for other human life.
		The Last Seduction is essentially dialogue rather than sound effect driven, which leaves a 5.1 mix redundant anyhow.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: The Last Seduction (1994)
		The Last Seduction is another in the nineties' neo-noir genre, where the characters reminiscent of the anti-heroes and villains of the forties' film noir genre, with all their buried passions, are transported into a narrative study of ultimate psychological pain.
		In The Last Seduction, perhaps it is to marvel at how shockingly heartless, how thoroughly evil and cruel the main character is. Personally, I don't get it.
		The Last Seduction is better than most in the genre, thanks to the creative and well-paced unfolding of the plot and character development.

	'The Last Seduction' (R)
		In John Dahl's "The Last Seduction," a post-"Double Indemnity" drama full of plot twists, double-crossings, sexual gyrations and dark pronouncements, Linda Fiorentino persuades her husband Bill Pullman and a ruthless loan shark to finance a drug deal, then skips town with the $700,000.
		But director Dahl never attains the enjoyable dimension he achieved in his previous "Red Rock West." In that movie, another angst thriller about passion, murder and a beautiful woman, the plot flowed fatefully like classic Greek drama.
		But in Dahl's latest, you spend too much of your time trying to push things along—and no seduction should be like that.

		This well-paced, cleverly written and quite diabolical thriller is director John Dahl's classy follow-up to last year's generally well-received "Red Rock West." Linda Fiorentino toplines as one of the screen's most formidable femmes fatales ever in a sexy and polished performance.
		The film is utterly amoral and centers upon a totally ruthless and self-centered woman who single-mindedly manipulates for her own ends everyone unlucky enough to cross her path.
		"The Last Seduction" has a professional gloss, and should quickly earn itself a reputation as a top-class thriller and be a solid earner for ITC, in the process adding to the reputations of all involved.

	EUFS: The Last Seduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		With a trio of modest little movies - Kill Me Again, Red Rock West, and The Last Seduction - John Dahl has established himself as a candidate for the title `current king of the neo-noir'.
		The Last Seduction, then, obviously plays upon the femme fatale motif of the 1940s noirs, but without the constraints of the studio code in the handling of sex or the mandatory requirement for a crime-does-not-pay ending.
		Its also worth considering The Last Seduction as a companion piece/mirror image to Dahl's own Red Rock West.

	DEEP FOCUS: The Last Seduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The Last Seduction is pretty obviously shot for the small screen, but the real problem is the horribly derivative screenplay, where the biggest surprise is really no surprise at all (John Dahl worked from a far more clever script in his previous Red Rock West [1993]).
		But once her schtick becomes familiar, the story starts to slow down, and you may start to nod off as The Last Seduction moves inexorably toward a foregone conclusion.
		Better you should rent The Grifters (1990), which does a quick and nasty pulp job with a classic Jim Thompson novel, or wait for Kiss of Death (1995), which has no femme fatales at all, but instead uses Nicolas Cage's bruising performance to scare the hell out of you.

		It is a suitably dark print with many scenes at night with the sound of thunder and rain slicked roads - this is ‘noir’ after all.
