Strong noir crime story, in which the plot twist provides a lot of tension and makes the film even stronger.
Totter indeed plays very well as the manipulating bitch, but the plot is not correct that she tells Warren that she killed him, there is also no explanation about her motives for the murder.
However, that should not spoil the fun, there is still plenty to enjoy.
