Ah, deceit, danger and the double-cross, the "three d's" of a great thriller. Well, this one wasn't great, but it was a serviceable film noir up until the ending where the whole thing goes into the tank. A self-proclaimed "bad girl" sets up two elaborate scams, one real and one imaginary that involve equal parts sex, violence and guile. Never trust a film where the turning point is a suicide - often it's just the easy way to get rid of a character or this case, to go off on a tangent. (6 out of 10)
