No, it ain't "Body Heat", or even "Double Indemnity", but it is a viewable femme fatal vehicle, although it borrows from the above-mentioned films, and even a little from "The Last Seduction".
With the exception of a heavy-handed soundtrack, the production value is appropriately murky as the plot twists back on itself.
All bases get covered by the time the deceiver gets deceived, and its only weak moment is when the filmmakers tag on a bogus "hope" ending.
A good watch. Not outrageous, but it'll leave you with a smirk.
