I watched this in theater when was actual, so some 30 years ago, and found it interesting. Could not tell that remembered much before recent rewatch. Basically remembered only 'twist', nudity, red dress and most interesting - that text on leather jacket: "Live fast, die young" . What served as interesting memory test. So started to watch it in late hours, just to reach scene with jacket to see do I remember it correct. And what the Hell ! - I seen first that text on wall, not jacket. which was in dark, and DVD quality helped not much (no BluRay release yet) . Then thought that I did not remember well. Something like Hruschow's supposed banging on desk with his shoe :-) However minut-two later jacket was shown on daylight, from back, so that text was well visible. I was so happy ! My memory is perfect !
Sorry, no word about my memory more here :-) What to say about movie ? Some famous actors, some which will be very famous soon (Jodie Foster), and pretty much poor direction and dialogs. But overall it was watchable, with good atmosphere bigger part of time. Ellen Barkin was perfect for role, I guess, at least physically. Was not impressed with male actor performances, including Gabriel Byrne, Julian Sands.
The real reason for watching it again is that I felt almost like main protagonist of movie - in my last couple months happened so strange things. Who watched it will know what I talking about ... And yes, IMDB rating is OK, I say it.
