Celebrity porn...

This was an interesting film. A bold, and daring piece from a European's directorial perspective. Although there is an interesting, enticing and creative premise of a story that lies within this film, that does not go without saying that there was a bit too much sex. From the opening scene until the very end, we see naked breasts, buttocks, and even some female genitalia. It leaves you feeling a little dirty, being inside this character's world, seeing what she goes through, during the entirety of the film.

Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas star in 'Basic Instinct', which should tell you right away what their basic instincts are. A man is dead. He has been stabbed to death during intercourse with an ice pick. The culprit, a beautiful blonde, whom we suspect is Cathryn (Stone). However, throughout the entire film, we are never really sure or clear 'who done it'. The story is well-written, and keeps you guessing, wondering if it was Cathryn, or if we are just led to believe that.

I would say that since Michael Douglas, usually just stars in films, and never actually acts, this was a good role for him, because he just needed to show up for shooting. However, Sharon Stone, was excellent, and quite possibly the best role and work she's ever done in any film. The role really was made for her, and it shouldn't even need to be said, that she was absolutely stunning in the movie.

Jeannie Tripplehorn, was also in the film, and was the not only the most beautiful I've ever seen her, but also the most noteworthy. She, aside from Stone, was probably the best actress on set. It's a shame she hasn't become more popular than she has. She is a very talented woman, and should be noted on her work. Especially in this piece.

It's not the best movie I've ever seen, but it's good. It does keep you guessing, which is something I like about a movie, nothing too predictable. However, it can be slow at points, and is nothing compared to, 'Fatal Atrraction', which is the best Douglas film ever. However, if you like watching stars have sex throughout half the film, and like watching people get murdered, then you just might like it.
