Looker - 1998 - 5/10

Two men and a woman share a three-way in a grungy alley.
Soon as the strokin’ and gropin’ climax, she finishes them with a straight razor.
The detective assigned the case tells his partner this happened twenty years earlier.
His father was the investigator, and he was murdered.
So, has the same killer resurfaced? Is she / he still alive? Hunting?
Bipolar flick. Hardcore porn sequences, yet the police narrative is full Noir.
Groaning and foaming to derivative synth score. Noir parts have sharp shadows, bluesy score, black n white flashbacks.
Perhaps inspired by the Neo Noir surge of the 90’s. More likely a rip of Basic Instinct.
Looker still better (and wetter) than most B-grade “erotic thrillers" of the 90’s.
