Examples
-
I have an “intuitive” objection to blackmail when the information the blackmailee does not wish disclosed is not about illegal activities.
-
In its strict legal sense, blackmail is hush-money -- a tribute paid to buy immunity, money extorted by the threat of telling everyone what a heel the blackmailee is.

The Deep End is a remake of Max Ophüls's 1949 outing The Reckless Moment, which I watched exactly 15 months ago, and compared to the original, it's darker and more adult, which doesn't necessarily work to its advantage, but the sexual tension between Swinton and Visnjic, particularly as blackmailer begins to fall for blackmailee, is absolutely delicious.
