This World, Then the Fireworks
They were bound by blood, driven by greed and enslaved by desire. Billy Zane (Titanic) and Gina Gershon (Face/Off) turn up the heat as wickedly seductive siblings who would do anything for each other. It's a searing tale of lust and larceny which also stars the beautiful, sultry Sheryl Lee ("Twin Peaks"). Grifters Marty (Zane) and Carol (Gershon) Lakewood are bad-to-the-bone twins whose devastating physical beauty is equaled only by their intense greed and the depths to which they'll sink to get what they want. Enter their intended prey: the ravishing Lois Archer (Lee) to whom Marty is instantly attracted - for many reasons. A repressed lady cop with some pretty powerful needs - and a prime piece of beachfront property - Lois is everything Marty is searching for in a woman...and in an easy mark. But Lois is a lady with secrets of her own, and before long, brother and sister discover their would-be foil is nobody's fool. Co-starring Rue McClanahan (The Golden Girls) and Will Patton (Inventing the Abbotts), this sexy, stylish tale of passion and cold-blooded murder is razor-sharp film noir with a smooth velvet touch.
Running time 1 hour 40 minutes. Orion Home Video. Rated R
Personal Rating:
I enjoyed this movie. I had to watch it two times in order to fully understand what was going on, but once you get it, you can truly appreciate the genre. The music is a little weird but this film shows Billy's acting skills to the fullest. He looks really good in it too, especially the beach scene. B:-)
On a scale of 1-10, I give it a 8.
