Not Bad Sex Thriller.
11 August 2000
Michael Douglas turns in his usual "Regular guy meets sexy woman has sex with her a few times and terrible things start to happen" role, but Sharon Stone makes a steamy breakthrough performance as Catherine Tramell. She is the prime suspect of killing her Rock-Star boyfriend with an ice pick the same way as she wrote in her latest novel. They question her(I think we all know what happens there), she takes a lie detector test, she passes. But now she's writing another novel about a detective who falls in love with a woman and she kills him. And as he starts to find out more about her past and she starts to find out about his past , he gradually falls for her(Who Wouldn't!). Then more murders mount up and he is determined to find out if she did it or not. Highly erotic,but still a pretty good thriller. Enough violence. Decent acting(especially by Beautiful, Seductive, Manipulative and winner of MTV Movie Award's "Most Desirable Female of 1993" as well as "Best Female Performance of 1993" Sharon Stone).
