I recommend 'Breathless' for non-squeamish thriller fans, but the amount of blood and gore on display may be way beyond what even those brave viewers can imagine.

No kidding. If you chained-smoked half as much as the plotting ladies in this twisty dramedy, you'd be hyperventilating, too.

Rated: 3/5

Could be watchable because of Gina Gershon's mildly interesting manipulative and ruthless damsel-in-distress role.

Rated: C+

It’s one of the best shows of that genre I’ve seen! I’m not a fan of Gina but, that show made me one!

A fascinatingly twisted and gory revenge story with a hilarious script and an even better plot twist ending. I very much enjoyed the Tarantino vibe which helped overcast the long dialogue sequences.

Gina Gershon and Kelli Giddish star in the noir crime film Breathless. After accidentally killing her husband while trying to find out where he hid $100,000 from a bank robbery, Lorna enlists her best friend to help her dispose of the body. Gershon and Giddoish have great chemistry together, and are especial good at delivering the dark comedy. However, the script is a little weak and the dialog is clumsy at times. Additionally, the use of a single set is rather limiting and gives a low-budget feel of the film. Yet despite having a few issues, Breathless is entertaining and kind of fun.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Pretty dark, very twisted, kind of funny... Breathless works at times. The performances are strong, but the dialogue heavy scenes get boring after a bit. You have most likely seen versions of this flick before, but for such a small, contained movie.. it does its job.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
