This is an old guilty pleasure from my teenage years. Almost two decades later, as I talk a big game sometimes about feminism and the struggle against patriarchy, yet I am still subject to the same socially programmed male desires as always. That said, Jennifer 8 is a decent STV Noir. In retrospect, any teenaged excitement at Uma Thurman's nudity is now tempered by an awareness of the ugly context.
It isn't a pleasant movie, but what well made Noir is?
