Basic Instinct



So this was Sharon Stone's break through role? She definitely played one hell of a psycho-mind game player. And the whole leg trick. Yup, that would be nani!

The only thing about this movie is there really is no suspense. There are surprises sure, but we are not left hanging. We know from the beginning "who did it," we just don't know why. And we never find out why, it is left hanging. Did she do it for book sales? Did she do it for the story? The attention? You will never know! In fact, you wont even see the devised plan. You just see this twisted story of one woman who killed someone (most likely not her first) and the rest of the people who die in order for her to not be caught.

Oh and throw in a detective who tries to play her game, but ends up doing EXACTLY what she said he would do... fall for the wrong person. Yup, he fell alright. It was only chance that he wasn't offed as well.

Experts Says: 3 Stars, Not quite the psychological thriller I was looking for.
