Here’s a cinematic love story that’s far from the norm: It’s a modern film noir love triangle, which isn’t unusual at all, but in this case two of the three corners of the triangle are occupied by women. This beautifully photographed and cleverly written movie was concocted by the Wachowski brothers, who now are a different type of sibling team: He’s still Andy, but his sibling is now Lana.  Joe Pantoliano plays the low-level mobster, Jennifer Tilly plays his shapely moll, and Gina Gershon plays the ex-con plumber who comes between them. The seduction scene with Tilly and Gershon is so hot, you may want to keep a dishrag nearby to wipe the fog from your TV screen.
