Noir

The Last Seduction

1h 50m

Directed by John Dahl • 1994 • United States
Starring Linda Fiorentino, Peter Berg, Bill Pullman

Linda Fiorentino is a diabolical delight as one of the most unrepentantly wicked femmes fatales of the neonoir boom in this deliciously entertaining thriller. After roping her doctor husband (Bill Pullman) into a deal to sell medicinal cocaine, beautiful but ruthless Bridget Gregory (Fiorentino) steals the profits and runs out on him. Soon enough, Bridget has another unsuspecting man (Peter Berg) in her grasp—and a devilish new scheme cooked up for him.
