BASIC INSTINCT(1992)
This was a killer of a movie! lol Ok, seriously, a good
suspense film with Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone
(Which pretty much made a name for her!). This was a
special DVD set that also included a cool pen in the shape
of an ice pick!!!
Be aware there is nudity in this! B+
From a reviewer at Amazon.com:
The take-no-prisoners sex thriller from 1992 now stands
as a milestone in the career of screenwriter Joe Eszterhas,
but in the hands of director Paul Verhoeven Basic Instinct
is an undeniably stylish and provocative study of obsession.
In the role that made her a star (and showed the audience
a little more skin than she intended), Sharon Stone plays
the cleverly manipulative novelist Catherine Tramell who
snares San Francisco detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas)
with her insatiable sexual appetite during the investigation
of her boyfriend's murder. Tramell is the prime suspect, but
the plot twists and turns until Curran is trapped in a dangerous
cycle of dead ends and unsolved murders, never sure if Tramell
is committing the crimes or if it is some other, unknown suspect.
With a plot that keeps viewers guessing, Basic Instinct is the
work of a director who is clearly in his element. --Jeff Shannon
