Judas Kiss Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Sebastian Gutierrez
Genres: Crime
Rating:
Young lovers and small-time New Orleans scammers Coco Chavez (Carla_Gugino) and Junior Armstrong (Simon Baker-Denny) move up a few rungs when they kidnap wealthy computer mogul Ben Dyson (Greg_Wise) in Sebastian_Gutierrez's neo-noir. During the crime, Coco kills Dyson's girlfriend, Patty (Beverly_Penberthy), wife of Senator Rupert Hornbeck (Hal_Holbrook). Assigned to the case are FBI Agent Sadie Hawkins (Emma_Thompson) and Police Lt. David Friedman (Alan_Rickman). When Hornbeck threatens Friedman instead of assisting him, the detective suspects that this is no ordinary kidnapping for ransom, and he does his own investigation. A conscience-stricken Coco realizes that she may have been set up to kill Patty, and she, too, takes matters into her own hands. A fairly complex tale of betrayal and corruption, Judas Kiss also spoofs noir conventions -- for instance, agent Hawkins is reading Jim_Thompson's crime novel -The Killer Inside Me, and he discusses the writer's works with Friedman during lulls in the action.
