Hardened criminal Maggie Hayward's consistent violence, even in police custody, ends in the execution chamber. However, top-secret US government agent 'Bob' arranges a staged death, so Maggie can be elaborately trained as a phantom killer and subdued into obedience. She gets a new cover identity as saleswoman Claudia Anne Doran. She also gets a wonderful house-mate, building super J.P., a broad-minded, gentle photographer. The two fall in love, and that complicates hit jobs. His good influence extends to breeding in her a conscience that places love over business, unlike Bob's agency.
Feels rushed in parts. The change that occurs to Maggie Hayward, Bridget Fonda, occurs too quickly. particularly psychologically. Despite the long sex montage, her relationship seems rushed as well. Seemed a bit cheap in aspects of the action scenes as well. I feel this needed to be better written/longer in duration to develop Maggie's character better.
