SYNOPSIS
In this humid, atmospheric film noir, a sweltering summer in south Florida sets the stage for a dark romance between an attorney (William hurt – A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD) and a beautiful woman (a never-better Kathleen Turner – ROMANCING THE STONE, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?) as they plot her wealthy husband’s early demise. Mickey Rourke’s debut as an arson expert on parole is convincing and the script—based on the classic noir tale DOUBLE INDEMNITY–by director Lawrence Kasdan (SILVERADO, THE BIG CHILL) is dazzlingly treacherous.
