On it's release way back in 1992 this had certain womens groups froffing at the mouth with disgust and outrage, but now the film seems allot tamer. Now looking at the film after the flames have died down what you actually are left with is a silly trashy sex thriller.
Michael Douglas sucks in his gut due to his middle age spread, But Sharon Stone sizzles as the bi-sexual ice pick killer. There was allot of fuss due to the leg uncrossing interragation scene, but now that seems tame. Yes the film is guilty of being trashy, but it's done with such style, and sheen, it's impossible not to like the film. Also the film has a outstanding seductive music score by Jerry Goldsmith that adds even more gloss to the movie.
A hugely enjoyable thriller, one of lifes great guilty pleasures!

This film has been slagged off a bit for being overtly sexual, glamourising violence, demonising the gay community etc, etc. Listen, forget all that stuff I found it a really good movie experience. Its got lots of action and yes, there is a fair bit of sex in it but this justs add to the film. Michael Douglas is a bit over the top at times but Sharon Stone is just the epitome of cool. She also looks fantastic. A good buy.

I watched this for the first time afew weeks ago and love d it. It's a tense thriller that has you guessing right till the end of the movie. Being a huge Michael Douglas fan this is definately one of his best movies. Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone have an truly awesome screen chemistry in this movie. For anyone who hasn't seen it just buy it you will love this movie for sure
