Femme Fatale
From Brian De Palma master of the Erotic Thriller
A $10-million diamond ripoff, a stolen identity, a new life married to a diplomat. Laure Ash has risked big, won big. But then a tabloid shutterbug snaps her picture in Paris. Suddenly, enemies from Laure's secret past know who and where she is. And they all want their share of the diamond heist. Or her life. Or both.
Brian De Palma shows again why he's an erotic thriller master with this edgy mind-blower that's both a gripping stunner and a twisty display of virtuoso filmmaking. Rebecca Romijn-Stamos plays Laure, a self-admitted "bad girl"...and about to get worse as she ensnares the photog (Antonio Banderas) in her web of self-preservation. An irresistible mix of style and story, Femme Fatale will utterly seduce you.

The only thing worse than a bad movie is a bad movie that takes itself way too seriously. Tiresome plot devices and conceits, an opening lesbian sex scene that reminds you of porn, and preposterous situations just leave you wanting it to end... which it has a hard time doing, as it blows up its own ending and replaces it with something that's supposed to be more satisfying. I had a hard time deciding if Rebecca can't act or if no actor could have done anything with the clunky lines she was given.amazing! - Isa-
I can't say it was the absolute best in the earlier parts of the movie, however, that totally changed when the ending started unfolding. Every detail has been ingeniously thought and perfectly planned out. Every little thing that seems futile when watching the movie takes meaning with the end. It may be a little easier to understand the second time you watch it, because you now know where the story is going. Sure, the "waking up in the bath" scene is a little general, however the twists it allows to bring to the film are very unexpected and believable.Nice eye candy, bad movie - Reel_Fan

Rebecca Romijn and Antonia Banderas provide nice eye candy for the film, but that's about all is has to redeem itself. The film was not all that gripping to me, and the "twists" weren't either very surprising, or made you roll your eyes a bit. I found it a bit difficult to understand why the characters were doing certain things in this one. So, if you want the voyeur aspect to this so called erotic thriller, it doesn't cost you anything with Zip's flat rate. But if you want a decent movie to watch, you can find something else.
