Delivering a heady mix of hardboiled violence and sex, Lana and Lilly Wachowski made their directorial debut with this low-budget, yet ultra-stylish thriller.

Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly, two severely-underrated actresses, drive the plot, scheming to topple mob money man Joe Pantoliano.
The duo will betray anyone and everyone, except the one they love, in a surprisingly heartfelt neo noir.
