This film comes off sharp and clever on first viewing. But our local cable station plays it often. The more times one sees it, the more the holes in the plot are obvious. Every character is written 'dumb' to Fiorentino's 'smart'. One big example. A private detective is hired to keep her under surveillance. He knows she's dangerous. She offers him cookies. He's so dumb and gluttonous, he actually eats them.
Then she goes off in a taxi to do her nefarious deeds. She has punctured the taxi driver's tire, so he can't follow her. What's dumb? Even I got a view of the name of the color of the taxi.
Why didn't the dumb detective, who knew her address, just get in touch with the taxi company, find out which driver had picked her up at that address at that time and find out where she'd gone from the driver? Not only are the characters 'written dumb' but the writers think the audiences are stupid. That's just one of many many holes in the plot of this not 'evil' but rather 'mean-spirited' movie.
