Judas Kiss starring Carla Gugino, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Simon Baker, Gil Bellows, Hal Holbrook, Philip Baker Hall and directed by Sebastian Gutierrez.

The Story: A young woman and her lover make a living running sex scams in New Orleans' hotels, preying on lonely men. They decide to enter the 'big time' by kidnapping a computer company owner for ransom. To further this scheme, they hire a tech wizard and a muscle man. . . but things go awry during the kidnapping and a neighbor is killed. But, she's not just any neighbor... she's the wife a a US Senator!  Was she really collateral damage? Suddenly, the local police and FBI are hot on their trail and nothing is as it appears.

Comments: A totally overlooked gem, Judas Kiss has titillating erotic romance, reminiscent of Body Heat; it has cops and crime, political intrigue and more than a dash of daytime soap. Plus there is the touch of gritty violence that any professional "by-the-numbers" crime film must employ. Emma Thompson delivers her role with grace and humor. Alan Rickman, as the whacked-out local cop, is excellent but not overbearing (Rickman always manages to steal the show). As an aside, the kidnappers generally show some intelligence - a rare thing in kidnapping films - avoiding most of the film clichés which plague the genre.
