Product Description
Female Chicago private detective investigates the death of an ex-hockey star with his thirteen year-old daughter tagging along.
Amazon.com
You couldn't do better than Kathleen Turner to bring Sara Peretsky's tough but tender Chicago PI (who goes by her initials "because it makes it harder for people to patronize [her]") to the big screen. Too bad her vehicle is such routine murder mystery. The story of an insolent teenager (Angela Goethals) who hires Warshawski to investigate her father's suspicious death never rises above TV detective show melodrama, and Jeff Kanew's generic direction is less hardboiled than over-easy. The film's pleasures are all in the performances: smart, stylish, and sassy, Turner can toss off a tart retort with the best of them and her chemistry with Goethals's foul-mouthed wharf rat is as much mentor as maternal protector. Given a better script, Turner could have hung her shingle on this character for years to come. --Sean Axmaker

I watched this because I teach film and many feminist film journals contain critiques of the film. Also, I had just watched Body Heat, starring Kathleen Turner, for maybe the 10th time, Turner's signature film. Unfortunately the content is weak, lacks drama, conclusion is telegraphed miles in advance and Turner tries to hard to be the tough "ballsy" cop with a heart of gold. Compared to her best work, this one is a limp noodle and not worth the feminist attention it has received. If you're looking for a good female cop movie, try Silence of the Lambs or Black Widow.

I first saw this movie years ago, it was one of a number that had Kathleen Turner playing tough but improbable characters with a good deal of humour and verve. This is Mickey Spillane in high heels and is both an excellent yarn and filled with the kind of humour best described as "High Camp" but no less entertaining for that.
Well worth anybody's time.

Having watched (and enjoyed) this at the theater when it first came out, I finally got around to adding it to the family collection. I've always enjoyed Kathleen Turner.

This is a great movie with Kathleen Turner, it's funny, serious, a little mysterious, and a great "who done it." It will keep you guessing right up to the end.
