A dark-hearted neonoir comes to a boil under the bright Los Angeles sun, in British director Stephen Frears’s rousing adaptation of the noveI by dime-store bard Jim Thompson, a film that raises pulp to the reaIm of existential tragedy. A possessive mother (Anjelica Huston), her cynical son (John Cusack), and his scheming, seductive girlfriend (Annette Bening) are career swindIers circIing one another in an elaborate emotionaI confidence game that grows increasingIy perverse as love and trust turn to betrayaI and Oedipal undercurrents rise to the surface. ln Frears’s first HoIlywood film, the ever-assured director and his trifecta of magnetic actors conjure a moody, unstuck-in-time vision of toxic Americana.
