Donning a luscious red lip that would’ve been put to better use as a gun moll in this tepid neo-noir, Dern walks away with bonus points for managing to act convincingly attracted to John Travolta.Ħ0.

Dern, meanwhile, is on the sidelines yearning for the homicide detective on the case and trying to make him pay more attention to her (relatable). This ’40s-set crime drama has its moments, thanks to a handsome ensemble led by Salma Hayek and Jared Leto as the notorious Lonely Hearts Killers, a couple who traveled cross-country murdering rich, single women they’d meet through personal ads.
