Run Time: 93 minutes
As bombshell Jewell Valentine, Tyler lures three
guys into her criminal scheme of happy homemaking.
Bartender Matt Dillon's the first to take the
bait; as Dillon's lawyer cousin, Paul Reiser
can't resist; and when murder complicates
everything, detective John Goodman employs his own
love-struck brand of chivalry. Sporting a tacky
pompadour, Michael Douglas steals the show as a
hit man hired to whack the scheming sexpot--and
Andrew Dice Clay is surprisingly funny in a
dangerous dual role--but of course Liv can hold
her own. It's all quite amusing, but rarely is
McCool's as funny as you hope it will be; the
dialogue by Stan Seidel (who sadly died before
filming completed) is zesty enough but lacks the
Coenesque punch that would kick it over the top.
It hardly matters, though; with a femme fatale
like Liv in control, the movie's faults will be
easily forgiven. --Jeff Shannon --
