The leads are the whole show which thanks to them is quite an enjoyable cat and mouse game.

My film class taught me that there's a bunch of psychological subtext. Fine, but it feels like a dated, mostly tame thriller with some cool momments. See: the awesome kiss-of-death scene.

I admit, I watched this movie mostly because Theresa Russel is in it. Unfortunately the story is rather predictable and the ending is just ludicrous. If it was just a bit more plausible I would have given it a higher rating. Certainly not the best movie with Theresa Russell.

Quite decent psychological thriller. Theresa Russell has always been such an underrated actress. I am very surprised she did not become a major star, she has everything it takes. And, she is terrific as always in this film. Tense and exciting, nicely edited. A fine film.

awesome mystery/drama! Loved the action. At times a little too realistic, but otherwise, really good.

Black Widow is an engaging and mesmerizing psychological thriller. Full Review
A smart, twisty, stylish thriller with a good Debra Winger performance.
Weaves quite an intriguing web
Stylish and sleek, yet also rather slow.
