I think this is a good movie. It's titillating but don't watch it just for that. You don't have to anymore. You've seen it all, sex-wise. Watch it for the performances of Douglas and Stone. Briefly: Douglas is a troubled cop with a troubled past. Stone is a sexy crime writer whose rocker boyfriend turns up dead in bed. Douglas and Stone's worlds collide and the temperature rises. Oh, also, Douglas' character is seeing a gorgeous cop psychiatrist played by Jeanne Tripplehorn. He's both seeing her for psychiatric evaluation and also seeing her for sex. It's complicated.
This is a well-done movie. Takes place in San Francisco. Seems like a lot of thrillers take place in San Francisco. Anyway, Douglas is great, straddling the line between slimy and sympathetic (isn't he always?). Stone is really great. She's smart AND seductive. I guess you need to be smart to be seductive. Whatever. This one is a lot of fun. There's probably too much sex but then again, the movie may actually be about sex. I don't know. Hard to know what the movie is about really. It's just supposed to make you feel stuff: aroused, scared, intrigued. And in that, it totally succeeds.
