well, OK, I would like to start this intro with general observation that people who are doing creative jobs in their lives have their own 'expiry date'. today, brian de palma is old man and he obviously lost his criteria. this show us one more thing and it is the fact that we shouldn't fool ourselves with expectations about artist's achievement based on his reputation (overrated or not, that's the other question). self-criticism is often needed. even 'scarface' has naive ending, though it's very good movie.
commercial movie title makes you suspicious at start, but it isn't classic modern trash with some prostitute (prostitute in any form) who accomplishes what she wanted and it's always about money and easy life, of course. the only reason why this makes some difference is her ability to see how things could end up in the future if.... (I don't want to tell the movie here, it's enough).
anyway, we have here this generic blonde making this movie adjustable for average audience. we have generic plot, and generic trash with very nasty and up to no good title character. she is, of course, always a step ahead, sexy, should be pretty, but we've seen prettier and as I said very immoral and capable to do anything. despite de palma's attempt with her special ability which is actually very marginal, this movie is totally cheap, generic, many times seen, chewed in and spit out for stupid audience to swallow. it's stupid to emphasize erotic component just for cheap attention as it's stupid to insist on dramatic aspect in porn movie.
trivia - she is 4 inches taller than antonio banderas
