Sharon Stone sizzles
2 July 2001
In this erotic thriller Sharon Stone plays Cathrine Tramell. A seductive, manipulative woman who may have been involved in an ice-pick murder. Michael Douglas is the cop who is sent to investigate, and falls for Tramell and they begin a steamy love affair.

Basic Instinct definitely does not leave alot to the imagination when it comes to its graphic sex and murder scenes. Stone and Douglas have incredible chemistry and sexual tension between them. Probably the best chemistry I have seen between two couples in a movie. Even in the scenes where they are not having sex, you can sense a strong attraction between them. Some of the plot may be predictable, but the movie has a great pace to it and never gives up. The ending is rather ambiguous and has to be seen many times to fully get it.

Great movie, recommended. Inspired alot of knock offs(Sliver, Disclosure, Body Of Evidence exc.)
