This film is considered as a film noir because it showed femme fatale, which is the most dangerous woman. Kathleen Turner played a femme fatale. And also the setting is in urban city. Some scene of the film consists of shadows and fogs. Just like when Ned killed Edmund, there was fog when he escaped the abandoned building after he killed Edmund.
