A different way of telling a story

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Blistering performances.

Thrill seeking lady judge masterminds a series of armed robberies before being found out by a foreign criminologist. When the magistrate decides to stop the robberies she is persuaded to continue by a psychotic man who appears to be an ally of the police. Part of her enjoys the thrill but another area is abhorrent of the passionate, violent partner she has taken on. Soon it becomes apparent she has gotten in over her head with a man who isn't what he seems. Fair suspense drama.
