The Last Seduction (1994)- Linda Fiorentino, Peter Berg, Jeff Daniels.
Fiorentino plays Bridget/Wendy, a totally sociopathic femme fatale, Daniels her husband and Berg the small town man she manipulates.
The Last Seduction is a noir film that ignores most of the conventional tropes but amps up the "bad girl" character to Hannibal Lector levels (no, she's not a cannibal).
She's evil with a great set of gams and a unwavering approach to getting what she wants.
It's obvious from the beginning that Wendy is a schemer, the joy of the movie is that she's more ruthless and cunning as the plot unwinds.
Fiorentino is amazing, her work was Oscar caliber but she was ineligible because the film was shown on HBO before it's theatrical release.
The Last Seduction is great fun and well worth hunting down.
Or, you could just go see The Last Airbender and revel in the CGI.
Which you choose pretty much defines your sensibilities.
