There’s this lingering bite of romantic noir all over the film, something that thrashes the way only the late ’40s / early ’50s could, with their cheap motels, nickel-dime add-ons, the quiet understanding that desire will ruin you long before the law ever does. Everything feels magnetic, electric, a little unhinged, like the characters themselves don’t fully understand how tightly they’re orbiting each other until it’s far too late.

And god, the devotion… not just to each other, but to guns. Firearms aren’t quite props here, they’re moreso extensions of the body, intimacy coming less from touch and more from shared impulse, shared danger, shared heat. There’s something almost indecent about how naturally violence slides into romance, how the two become inseparable. It’s sordid. It’s reckless. It’s intoxicating in the way only doomed things can be. Peggy’s electric, John dall is excellent, a very intimate film. If you want a lover…

My favourite noir of the season so far! How is this film not just as revered as Bonnie and Clyde? Anchored by Annie’s soft boiling rage that eventually bubbles over as the film reaches its thrilling climax, her arc as a wild eyed sharp shooter turned murderous bandit is the kind of meaty femme fatale roles I crave in my noirs.
