I really liked this movie, and I would recommend it to anyone with a yen for noir. Jane Fonda plays Bree, a NY hooker, but she's not a movie heart-of-gold hooker. She is in it for the money while she works to be an actress (a regular NY story, right?). We learn through her therapy sessions, and in other scenes, how complicated and messed up Bree is. Plus she has a killer that may be stalking her.
Enter Donald Sutherland, a small town cop trying to figure out what happened to his missing friend. This friend may or may not have been involved with Bree. It's not much of a mystery because the viewer knows almost from the beginning who the killer is. Instead it is a noir-ish character study, and an incredible acting vehicle for Jane Fonda. She is great. Roy Scheider has a small part, and he is super-creepy wonderful as well.
