Femme fatale

A femme fatale is a character archetype typically found in movies of the action, crime drama or thriller genres. They are characterized as an attractive and alluring woman, often a seductress, but whose motivations are less than honorable, and her actions prove dangerous to the main protagonist of the film. The femme fatale trope plays heavily in the "James Bond" film series, some of whom have been classified as "Bond Girls".
