DVD Reviews of The Last Seduction
DVD Review: Remarkably stylish, heavily rooted in reality, interesting
Summary: 4 Stars
The Last Seduction (1994) is remarkably stylish, with an
intellectually mature story, heavily rooted in reality, even 15
years later.
Linda Fiorentino plays a Machevellian 30-ish woman, having the
looks of a younger lady, with a classic beauty, very feminine
and seductive in a number of different scenarios, but who uses
precisely that attribute to her advantage in manipulating men,
some of whom are weaker than others to her notable presence.
She starts out as a manager in a boiler room, overseeing high
pressure sales reps pushing commemorative coins, but quickly
sets her ambitions much higher, to bigger dollar amounts, in
conjunction with her husband, played here by Bill Pullman, (who
holds his own in terms of street smarts.)
She double crosses Pullman's character, wanting all of the loot
for herself from a joint narcotics sale that went off.
Peter Berg plays a simple-minded, small town man of the same
age, who is torn between his righteous upbringing, strong
natural sense of morality, that is jeopardized by the behavior
of Fiorentino's character. The latter demonstrating a megacity,
hyper-competitive, largely-experienced, jaded, cerebral, cynical
state of mind, in this particular case, of Brooklyn, with
profits at any price, dog-eat-dog and so on. She combine those
talents with her capacity to inflame Berg with her femininity
spontaneously.
The visual aspects work well, for this particular movie, as a
classic style is exhibited by Fiorentino's character time and
again, such as by her gold watch, classic but provocative
clothes, with a few naked shots to boot, of both Berg and
herself, emphasizing the over-extended libido felt by both
characters, at the same time as one their devious plans.
The criminal tendencies of Fiorentino's character are
demonstrated at the same time as her lack of rigor in her own
personal conduct: throwing off her wedding ring, spitting
chewing gum on the street, licking a dollar bill, using a men's
washroom (not the women's), spontaneously having relations
anywhere (outside a club, in a car, on her office desk), using
profanity, reaching for private parts, spitting out her food,
extinguishing a cigarette on a pie, etc.) The character is also
shown as having no notion of ethics, or of the policy of
confidentiality touching upon client lists of her employer, as
she dreams up ways of making millions off life insurance
policies she will manipulate.
From the above discussion, the movie is a success story in terms
of style, with a tiny bit of voyeurism, for those appreciating
the actress' classic beauty (looks, clothes, etc.) and apparent
down to earth present, yet sophistication, as compared to what
is the norm in the media.
While not a wide-screen release, the filming is spotless, the
music accompaniment is rooted in jazz, the story extremely well
articulated, and relevant to today. There are no subtitles.
Description of The Last Seduction
Bridget Gregory (Linda Fiorentino) seems to have it all: beauty intelligence and a marriage to Clay a wealthy physician (Bill Pullman). But everything isn't enough for Bridget who persuades her husband to make dirty deals on prescription drugs and then runs with the profit. Now incognito in a mid-American small town. Bridget draws a naive local Mike Swale (Peter Berg) into a smoldering affair.Passion greed and revenge forge a desperate triangle between the three as Bridget draws her unknowing victims deeper into her deadly web of deceit. System Requirements:Running Time: 110 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: MYSTERY/SUSPENSE Rating: R UPC: 012236132172 Manufacturer No: 13217Whew. Linda Fiorentino is like a home-grown apocalyptic nightmare as the sizzling, sexy dame who thinks "sharing" is a dirty word. Fiorentino, a master of the double-cross, hooks up with naive Peter Berg, a nice guy desperate for a little adventure. There are endless twists to this cleverly vicious story, but the real draw is Fiorentino, whose performance is brilliant. She is the Everywoman you never want to meet: cool as ice, passionate, tough, self-satisfied, smart, and amoral. Bill Pullman is a surprise as a Machiavellian doctor who is almost her match. Definitely not a date flick, as this represents one vicious battle in the sexual wars. --Rochelle O'Gorman
