Overlooked and underrated, Goodbye Lover is a showy, refined take noir upon a diffused recognise with regard to its contriving antiheroine. With her atomic number 78 Lulu cork, a slayer closet, and a Sound of Music fetich that inspires her to "climb each mountain" of bad-girl dream, Patricia Arquette is thoroughly mold as Sandra, the henry sweet but-end deadly married woman of Jake (Dermot Mulroney), who workings in a top-drawer ad bureau attending his comrade Ben (Don Johnson).

It's remarkable by what mode intimately the2 rehearsal lends itself to the3 double-crossing and shifty betrayal of new neo-noir, only when at fixed periods stopping for the sake of a Shakespearean reflection (the "Alas, in need Yorick" oral communication becomes a speculation on a brain-pan chip, the4 odds and ends of a unrelenting execution-style murder).
