...stripped of its thriller elements, the movie is really just a subpar 9 1/2 Weeks clone...

Director Phillip Noyce's camera will leer at anything that clenches and unclenches with a steady rhythm.

A glossy, trashy psychological thriller that manages to entertain despite a reshot ending which is too abrupt.

A hot follow-up to "Basic Instinct"....just as sizzling

'You like to watch don't you'... that may be true, but I would have liked watching even more if I were watching something better.

This movie is just an attempt to get in on the succes of Basic Instinct. It's the same thing....without the talented filmmaking. It's watchable....But nothing more. I liked the ending though....But that's not what they planned...so I can't give them credit for it.

Rarely rises above "stupid" Exposed Esztherhas' lack of talent; Stone's inability to play vulnerable and Baldwin's lack of appeal.
