I decide to divide my review in two parts: one is for Sharon Stone, the other one is for the movie.
Sharon Stone: she's definitely the star of "Basic instinct" and steals the show. She's absolutely sexy, gorgeous, mysterious, charming,... she's a dream for us. And she's a very talented actress too (her best film, to me, is Martin Scorsese's "Casino"). The scene of her police interrogation is unique.
Sharon Stone rating 10/10 (in every way!)
The movie: this is a fast food thriller. At the time of its release it was considered a masterpiece of eroticism and action. It became worldwide famous for being amoral, violent and politically incorrect. To me (apart from Sharon Stone) the film is crap and not revolutionary as they say. Everything is schematic, after all, and dialogs are silly ("That's the **** of the century", "We'll go on ******* like rabbits"... please, they make me laugh!)
Michael Douglas always plays the same role of the frustrated neurotic man -he has always the same face (see "Fatal attraction", "Black rain", "Disclosure"). And the film is full of already seen situations: the cop becomes a little stupid after the beginning of the story with the sexy goddess and police wants to push him away; he doesn't go well and begins smoking -he begins smoking again! Oh my God, that's bad!... ... What a cliché...!
Film rating 3/10
