Critics Consensus

Like Body Heat, The Last Seduction updates film noir techniques for a modern era, imbuing this erotic film with '90s snark.

Joshua Katzman

Chicago Reader

While The Last Seduction isn’t anywhere near the complex and disturbing masterpiece that Chinatown is, it does contain more social commentary than has generally been ascribed to it.

Rated: 3/4

The movie is a spirited attempt at modern film noir, and huge parts of it are enjoyable.

Pulling him into her orbit, she spills a wickedness onto entire canvas, leaving us with no choice but to lay in thrall of her swaggering competence. May we never never cross paths.

PopMatters

Linda Fiorentino pulls out all the stops and delivers a tour-de-force performance in John Dahl's gripping neo-noir, The Last Seduction, a film full of blue moods, dark humour, and hairpin turns.

Rated: 8/10

Linda Fiorentino...gives a wisecracking, ball-breaking, riveting performance in John Dahl's The Last Seduction.

The movie was incredible and i loved the acting. But the one problem about this film is the theme song they play in my opinion i don't think that's a good theme song for erotic thriller.

Stupid movie. Like one reviewer said probably should have watched this back in ‘94, it might have seemed good to me. If I was a guy, I'd be annoyed with how stupid, men were portrayed in this movie. Totally unrealistic gullible idiots.

Based on it's description alone, this is not the type of film I'd usually choose to watch and review. However, having recently viewed Red Rock West for the first time and seeing that this was done by the same director with similar reviews from both critics and audiences, I decided to check it out. Similar to the aforementioned, everything plays loosely in it's roles and places but the plot is less engaging. The femme fatale herein is not as likeable as many other femme fatales, I really don't know exactly what she is trying to do for much of the movie.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
