The Last Seduction Movie Reviews

Casts a darkly enticing spell

Cunning, devious, and alluring telemarketing manager Bridget Gregory (a terrifically tart performance by Linda Fiorentino) makes off with a huge sum of money after convincing her physician husband Clay (nicely played to the wormy hilt by Bill Pullman) to sell pharmaceutical cocaine. Bridget hides out in a small country town and gets involved with meek local Mike Swale (a likeable turn by Peter Berg).

Director John Dahl relates the intricate and involving story at a constant pace, maintains a blithely immoral tone throughout, and tops things off with a wickedly funny sense of pitch-black humor. Steve Barancik’s clever script revels in the vividly cold’n’ cruel world it creates and offers zero potential for redemption for its deliciously vicious anti-heroine, who not only manages to twist various weak and gullible men to her gleefully evil will, but also gets away with it, too. (This film’s total dearth of sentiment is definitely one of its key assets.) Moreover, there are sharp supporting contributions from J.T. Walsh as shrewd lawyer Frank Griffith and Bill Nunn as no-nonsense private eye Harlan. But it’s Fioentino’s spot-on sexy’n’sassy portrayal of one of the single most sly, seductive, and predatory femme fatales to ever slink and connive her away across the screen that really makes this movie hum. Further enhanced by Jeffrey Jur’s crisp cinematography and Joseph Vitarelli’s smooth jazzy score, this honey overall rates highly as a 90’s noir gem.

Linda Fiorentino makes this movie

Bridget Gregory (Linda Fiorentino) is a telemarketing manager running a croaked boiler room. Her husband Clay Gregory (Bill Pullman) sells stolen pharmaceuticals for a big payday. She steals his money and leaves NYC. She stops at Beston on her way to Chicago. Mike Swale (Peter Berg) is tired of small town girls. She walks into the bar and he’s smitten. Her lawyer Frank Griffith (J.T. Walsh) tells her to stay put while he starts the divorce. She gets a job as Wendy Kroy but Mike happens to work at the company. Clay is desperate to pay off a loan shark and manages to track her to an area code. Then he figures out that New York backwards is Wen Kroy and sends Harlan (Bill Nunn) to find Wendy.

The bar scene is terrific and it’s all about Linda Fiorentino. That goes for the whole movie. Her character is a real piece. Peter Berg is a good sucker and Bill Pullman is a good sleaze. It’s surprisingly funny at times. It’s all attitude and Fiorentino is dripping in it. Her dialog is neo-noir and snappy. I love the dark turns and her glee with making those turns.

One of the Best Movies of the 90’s

In New York, the cunning and seductive telemarketing manager Bridget Gregory (Linda Fiorentino) convinces her husband, Dr. Clay Gregory (Bill Pullman), to sell a load of cocaine for medical use to drug dealers. Clay raises US$ 100,000.00 with a loan shark and makes US$ 700,000.00 selling the drugs. However, she steals the money and flees to Beston, in Buffalo. She goes to a bar and has one night stand with the local Mike Swale (Peter Berg). On the next morning, she applies for a job position of manager of an insurance company using the name of Wendy Kroy and finds that Mike works in the same company.

The naive Mike has just left his wife Trish that he briefly married in Buffalo and needy of love, he has a crush on Wendy. The manipulative woman sees in Mike the instrument to get rid of Clay and plots a sophisticated evil scheme using Mike.

“The Last Seduction” is one of the best movies of the 90’s with an amoral story of seduction and manipulation. This movie is, together with “Body Heat” (1981) and the unknown “Payback” (1995), one of the three best film neo-noirs. Linda Fiorentino is perfect in the role of the femme fatale that destroys the lives of three men – her husband, the private detective and the naive Mike. I saw this movie again yesterday and the story has not aged and is still a masterpiece of the genre. My vote is nine.
