Rosamund Pike - the new Femme Fatale

Rating: 8/10 (7 December 2014)

A warm welcome to Rosamund Pike as the latest Femme Fatale. She joins a long list of Femme Fatales that have graced the screen over the years. Nothing like an evil dame to brighten a film. Her performance was worthy of the best of the Femme Fatales of bygone years.
Rosamund said she studied Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct and Nicole Kidman in To Die For in order to play the part. What, that was it? She would have done great to study Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity, The Loves of Martha Ivers and the File on Thelma Jordan - worthy Femme Fatales who were deadly. And what about Lizabeth Scott in Too Late for Tears, or Claire Trevor in Murder My Sweet and Born to Kill. And the greatest Femme Fatale Ann Savage in Detour.
Ah Film Noir with deadly dames and whacked out Psychos like Robert Ryan , Richard Widmark and James Cagney and many more.
Anyway Rosamund your performance was worthy. Stanwyck, Scott, Trevor and Savage would have been proud.
