"The Last Seduction" is a neo-noir 1994 film directed by John Dahl.

The movie features Linda Fiorentino as the femme fatale, Peter Berg as a small-town man whose one night affair turns into more than he wanted, and Bill Pullman as Fiorentino's husband who is chasing her and running from loan sharks at the same time. Fiorentino's performance generated talk of a possible Oscar nomination, but because the film was shown on cable television (HBO) before it was released to theaters in 1994, she was disqualified from Oscar consideration.

The movie was distributed by October Films.

Plot

"The Last Seduction" is a story about a sociopath femme-fatale, Bridget Gregory, who steals a bag of money ($700,000) from her drug-dealing husband Clay. Bridget drives off headed to Chicago when she happens to stop at a small town and meets Mike, a man who recently split with his wife under mysterious circumstances. The two immediately hook up. Bridget is just looking for sex while Mike is trying to find a way out of the small town.Meanwhile, drug dealer Clay gets his thumb broken by the loan shark who is looking for repayment for his loan. Clay, with the help of a private detective, frantically searches for his plotting wife and the money. Back in the small town Bridget changes her name and gets a job at the same insurance company Mike works for. (Her alias "Wendy Kroy" is essentially "New York" spelled backwards; Clay knows of her penchant for backwards spelling and writing and eventually tracks her down through this alias). When Mike tells her how she can read credit reports to find out if a man is cheating on his wife, Bridget hatches a plan to start selling murders to upset wives. First, she talks Mike into trying to kill her drug-dealing husband under the lie that he’s a cheating wife beater. She later frames Mike for murder and attempted rape.
