A great neo-noir thriller with brave performances by Hurt and Turner.

Perfectly woven erotic thriller, made from the same cloth of noir classics "The postman always rings twice" and "Double indemnity". Sensuality fill its air thanks to great writing, John Barry's jazzy score and the debutant Kathleen Turner's presence. Destiny and greed always step on a murderous pact between lovers

Yeah, it owes a lot to prior noirs like Double Indemnity, but it has its own unique film that makes it essential. The way that Kasdan is able to visually express the oppressive heat swarming over everything is unforgettable.
