Black Widow is a psychological thriller drama buoyed by a great performance by Theresa Russell. The story is about a woman who takes the meaning of gold-digger to a whole new level. She romances lonely millionaires before discarding them (killing them) and taking aspects of the men's characteristics and persona, to become a new person altogether. A detective(Winger) is assigned the case and perhaps the "only a woman knows the depths of another woman's heart" is the only way the "Black Widow" can be brought to justice. This is an intriguing concept and the film is well made and well-acted, especially by the ethereal Theresa Russell. There is a great amount of sexual tension here between Winger and Russell. This is a true 80s movie filled with everything you'd expect from a psychopathic thriller from that time era.
