Second viewing; first seen on March 30, 1991
Two crimes featuring a man found dead in bed are probably linked to the same perpetrator; police detective Keller was on the first case and suspects the murderer is a woman the victim met through a newspaper ad. He and the cop from the second crime team up and decide on a risky strategy to catch the killer. A mighty complication ensues when the protagonist falls for a suspect.
The plot details do not resist a critical analysis, so we better skip that part. The film is just a series of excessively predictable situations which culminate in an excessively unpredictable one. Despite everything, it still manages to entertain, I guess sex and death make for an arousing combination. The film bears curious structural similarities with Tootsie, especially a nearly identical ending, but I would never have realized it, if it weren't for the discussion board at IMDB (see here and here).
