John Dahl, the director behind Red Rock West and The Last Seduction, is the director and co-writer of Kill Me Again, and it shows. Dahl's love of modern noir, ruthless women, Western landscapes, and double-crosses shines through. Joanne Whalley-Kilmer plays Fay, a spitfire who has somehow gotten herself mixed up with a psychotic thug (Michael Madsen, of course) named Vince. Fay runs off with a whole lot of Vince's stolen money and hires loser private eye Jack Andrews (Val Kilmer) to help her fake her own death. To say any more would spoil a terrific, intricate plot that keeps heating up as interested parties close in on Jack, Fay, and the money. The then-married Kilmer and Whalley-Kilmer clearly have a great time playing off each other, and Madsen adds another brilliantly played lunatic to his oeuvre. Enjoy it, and don't trust anybody. --Ali Davis, Amazon.com

Tom Kalin directed this black-and-white study of the infamous Leopold and Loeb case a case told before in two previous films -- Rope (Alfred Hitchcock 1948) and Compulsion (1959 starring Orson Welles). In 1924 in Chicago Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb two 18-year-olds kidnapped and murdered the 13-year-old Bobby Franks immediately killing him and then stuffing his naked body up a culvert. The motive for the crime was simply that they wanted to prove to themselves that they were smart enough to get away with it. The previous film versions downplayed Leopold and Loeb's homosexuality but Kalin's version explores their possible psychosexual motivations. Loeb (Daniel Schlachet) is calculating intellectual while Leopold (Craig Chester) the amateur ornithologist is emotional and weak. In love with Loeb Leopold is willing to do anything for him and when Leob uses the withholding of sex as a prompt Leopold is even willing to commit murder to have his sexual desires satisfied by Loeb. Swoon is a chilling yet fascinating film.

Two more investigations for Foyle set on the southern coast of England during World War II who is assisted by Milner and his driver Sam.
By this third episode of Foyle's War, series creator Anthony Horowitz has his characters' fundamentals and the wartime milieu well in hand; he rewards himself by taking this remarkable programme to a new high. "A Lesson in Murder" concerns a cluster of terrible deaths--a jailhouse suicide provoked by abusive police, the monstrous killing of a child, the murder of a judge--directly or indirectly tied to a military draft board tainted by scandal. As Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) investigates the linkages, his two prized assistants, driver Sam (Honeysuckle Weeks) and Detective Milner (Anthony Howell), become personally involved with a pair of naive wartime casualties. Intensifying gloom over Germany's imminent declaration of war hovers over everything and a home-front crisis makes heroes of some and scoundrels of others. Fortunately, steadfast Foyle is there to separate one from the other. --Tom Keogh
