It is tough to be taken seriously when you’re blonde even in the IRA. Jude (Miranda Richardson) decides to be a brunette when she returns to enlist the aid of Fergus (Stephen Rea). He thought he’d shed all of the intrigue of the past. She brings it all back now that their cell has moved their activities to London. Fergus declines and Jude threatens his girlfriend Dil (Jaye Davidson), following them around town until he capitulates. As a result he is hustled into a car where Jude plans an assassination that has all the trappings of a suicide run for whomever is sent to lead the assault.

I’ve always been a fan of mushy moments in movies. Sometimes it seems forced, sometime contrived. However when Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston) gets pushed of the stage, her headdress taken and the beads ripped away and spilled all over, I was entranced. Frank Farmer (Kevin Costner) grabs a fire extinguisher, hoses down the audience and then elbows and pushes his way through the crowd to finally gather Rachel in his arms carrying her to the limousine leaving Sy Spector (Gary Kemp) and Tony Scipelli (Mike Starr) standing in the rain with the Metropolis stage setting in the background. Wow…

Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone) is a vixen of the first stripe. She’ll flirt with anything that walks, she doesn’t hesitate to do that which pleases her and she won’t take prisoners when confronted with anything she thinks is standing in her way. She makes my heart go pitty-pat. Especially after she agrees to go to police headquarters to be interviewed about the murder of Johnny Boz (Bill Cable). Her manner as well as her body language had me as anxious and uncomfortable as her interrogators.
