Black Widow: When Broads Clash ***

Whatever happened to Debra Winger? She was terrific in "Terms of Agreement" as well as "An Officer and A Gentleman."

Very intriguing plot is depicted in the film when Winger, as a government agent, pursues Russell who weds wealthier older men and sends them to their graves rather suddenly.

Winger is great here as she shows an obsession to get the Russell character. Ms. Russell matches her every way she can and seems to pull it all out until the bottom of the 9th inning.

The movie starts out slow but builds nicely. The sumptuous scenes of Hawaii add to its character.
