I will admit I saw this movie ONLY because my best friend loves it so much. I was prepared to hate it.
I was wrong and she was right.
This movie is a wonderful cat and mouse game between two women. They get to know one another, and even to respect one another knowing that only one of them can win.

I think the movie did a good job of showing how a sociopath can seem normal in polite society, but then have no conscience when it comes to the lives of other people to the point of being proud of the murders. At the end, she needs Debra Winger's character to know that she did put the poison in the bottle.
I also think that Winger does a good job of showing a grudging respect for this woman, even though she knows she has to stop her from killing again.
All in all, I would give this movie a 7/10. It's not the greatest movie out there, and feels a little dated now (gotta love the '80's hair!)but it was enjoyable.
