This is definitely an homage to the noir films of the 1940s, thus has more melodrama than I typically like in movies. I like the 1981 movie "Body Heat." and there is a similarity in both plot and direction.
Both of the lead actors Madeleine Stowe and Ed Harris do a good job of bringing the story to the screen.
The weakness in the movie is ultimately the plot. It is okay, until the movie reaches its conclusion, as it gets less and less likely, ultimately pegging the BS meter.
My advice is to skip this one and watch, or rewatch "Body Heat."
