Review of Black Widow

Black Widow (1987)
6/10
[6.5] The sticky investigator, the naive full-of-herself widow
28 April 2024
A semi well-made, gorgeously 80s, average crime drama mystery movie that feels drawn out and disjointed, saved only partially by the good acting, some minimal plot twists and a somewhat above-average ending.

The best acting between the two women, in my opinion, goes to Theresa Russel who was able to pull off the complexity and subtleties of her character, while the undercover one was your typical "journalist-investigator" with an 80s hairdo, nothing really special and worth of impression as of her acting.

Nevertheless recommended for the 80s vibe and unique style of pictures, photography and filming.
