Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMadonna personally selected Willem Dafoe as her co-star.
- GoofsA detective states that the reason the police called the District Attorney is because the victim, Andrew Marsh, was handcuffed at the time of death. However, in the opening scene it is obvious that the dead man is not handcuffed. Moreover, if he were, it would almost conclusively prove Rebecca's guilt - if she did not kill him, she would have untied him before leaving. And despite this supposedly being the sole reason for Rebecca's arrest and prosecution, whether the deceased was or wasn't handcuffed at the time of his death is never mentioned again, by anybody.
- Quotes
Rebecca Carlson: All we did was make love.
Frank Dulaney: In handcuffs.
Rebecca Carlson: It was different, but it was still making love. Have you ever seen animals make love, Frank? It's intense. It's violent. But they never really hurt each other.
Frank Dulaney: We're not animals.
Rebecca Carlson: Yes, we are.
- Alternate versionsThree versions of this movie have been released: an R-rated theatrical version, a NC-17 version and an unrated video version. European release is the NC-17 cut.

Featured review
The supporting cast gives this one some distinction
Willem Dafoe is miscast in the Michael Douglas role (though he still acts well), Madonna doesn't quite cut it as a femme fatale (though she is an excellent moaner), and the erotic scenes are invariably dimly lit (they appear to be explicit, but you can't see much), but this hybrid erotic / noirish / courtroom thriller still sustains your interest, mostly thanks to an unusually solid supporting cast (led by the excellent Joe Mantegna). Uli Edel's direction doesn't have much style, but he paces the film well; I'd say that, despite its shortcomings, this is one of the better examples of its kind that were made profusely in the early 1990s after the success of "Basic Instinct". **1/2 out of 4.
