Title: Smoldering, sinister & sexy - stellar performances!
Review: Agreed, it's not a classic - but I really enjoyed this. And I enjoyed it not just for the stunning performances by Nicholson and Lange. The whole movie had a hopeless, depression-era feel to it.I think this movie says that nobody is ALL bad. Granted, Frank comes close to it, but look what happens by the end of the movie. I think it's about second chances, and that there are 2 sides to everybody.And what's with all the "2"s in this movie? Twin Oaks had 2 signs. There were 2 cats, Frank had 2 women, Cora had 2 men. Nick was killed on their 2nd attempt. Two people were trying to expose Frank (D.A. and Kennedy). Two insurance companies. Two car accidents. Twice they swerved to avoid an oncoming car. Two deaths (Nick, Cora's mother). How many times does the postman ring? You get the idea. I think there's a message here.The ending was a total surprise for me.
