V.I. Warshawski

V.I. Warshawski (1991) is a Chicago detective caper you can watch online on iFILM, with Kathleen Turner in the title role. Vic Warshawski drinks her whiskey straight, talks back to everyone, and trusts her revolver more than most people.

The case finds her by accident. Her new boyfriend, a retired hockey player, asks her to watch his teenage daughter Kat — and is murdered days later. Vic refuses to walk away, and Kat turns into her stubborn junior partner. Director Jeff Kanew brought Sara Paretsky's hard-boiled heroine to the screen, and Turner plays her with a husky, wisecracking edge that flips the lone-wolf private-eye formula on its head.
