While scoring high-profile credits as a screenwriter (including The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Raiders of the Lost Ark), Lawrence Kasdan made his directorial debut with this steamy, contemporary film noir in the tradition of Double Indemnity and other classics from the 1940s. In one of his most memorable roles, William Hurt plays a Florida lawyer unwittingly drawn into a web of deceit spun by Kathleen Turner (in her screen debut) as a married socialite who plots to kill off her husband with Hurt's assistance. Kasdan's dialogue is a hoot (sometimes it borders on satire), and the sultry atmosphere is a perfect complement to the perspiration-soaked chemistry between Hurt and Turner, whose love scenes caused quite a stir when the film was released in 1981. John Barry's score sets the provocative mood, and both Ted Danson and Mickey Rourke are splendid in memorable supporting roles. — Jeff Shannon

- One of the Best Movies ever made!
- The movie itself is one of the best movies ever made. A great neo-noir that has it all: murder, sex, money, twists, turns, humor. A true classic.
The transfer of the movie is fine. If you are expecting a highly detailed look with bright colors, you will be disappointed. But this was not the way the movie was filmed.… More reviews
- Murder And Erotica
- Well acted and atmospheric modern noir thriller with Kathleen Turner creating sexual electricity in her debut role. Excellent blue ray transfer. More reviews
- A dreadful transfer of a great movie
- I've seen a few Blu-Ray discs that aren't much of an improvement over the DVD, but this is a rarity, a Blu-Ray that actually looks bad. I already traded in my DVD and it's been a few years, so I can't see if it looks any better, but this is no improvement. The colors are faded and washed out, the picture is generally blurry and limp, and… More reviews
