...closer, ever closer to Frank Butler, her husband, who must hold her targets steady while fighting against growing fear as she keeps testing the limits of her possibly lethal talent. Altman understates this joke, as he does literally hundreds of others, with his cinematic trademarks: overlapping dialogue and quick-flick cutting of film printed in faded colors, like old snapshots...

A "degenerate film with dignity," tacked with an "X" rating, conjures images of Emmanuelle and The Story of O. These films are degenerate in the colloquial sense, wallowing in themes...
