Her Last Request was His is First Mistake

In his film debut, novice director John Dahl, weaves a quirky tale of love, murder and deception.

 Jack Andrews (Val Kilmer), a seedy private detective is hired by Fay Forrester (Joanne Whalley-Kilmer), to help her fake her own death in a clever scheme to escape from her mob pursuers and her boyfriend (Michael Madsen) whom she double-crossed stealing money she had been sent to pick up, and are now intent on killing her.

There then ensues a series of complicated plot-twists, double-crosses and surprises as Fay and Jack race each other to escape the boyfriend and the mobsters, who have found them, and to get the money before the other does.

Kilmer and his co-star Whalley-Kilmer were married when this film was made.  Their chemistry is very revealing and their scenes together are steamy.  They also shared screen credits in Played. 

 This film was done very well, the story has lots of twists and turns. The Kilmer and Whalley-Kilmer team heat up the screen and Madsen is the guy that you really do hate. Plus a surprise ending.
