But the Mafia don (a wildly miscast Roy Scheider) has given Jack a sort of promotion: he's entrusted with actually putting the hit on Mona, who, naturally, deploys all her sexual cunning to evade her fate...
...film's first half we watch Jack volley between his inexplicably loyal wife Natalie (Annabella Sciorra) and his submissive moll Sheri (Juliette Lewis), all the while wrestling with his conscience. Because the formula would not be complete without a furtive villain force, Medak is compelled to introduce Russian mobster Mona Demarkov (Lena Olin) into Jack's dysfunctional life. Fueled by lust and fear, Jack is either chasing or being chased by this femme fatale from hell...
