Critic Reviews

Variety Staff, Variety
Tantalizing double-crosses mount right up to the eerie final scene.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
The movie attempts to top each of its revelations with still another until reason bends and interest flags.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Things get weirder and weirder, until it's clear scriptwriter Wesley Strick's the one who needs analysis.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Most audiences are likely to emerge dazed and a little goofy, convinced they've seen a humdinger, but unable to quite describe it.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Has so many twists, turns and backward leaps, the actors tackle their work like trained poodles in a circus act.
JoBlo, JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Since when did Basinger learn to act?!? Wow, quite a performance indeed.
, Time Out
It's hard to care in the end.
Clint Morris, Moviehole
A clever whodunnit.....Basinger and Gere raise a little heat
James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
Great trashy fun: Don't drink the cough syrup!
Kathleen Maher, Austin Chronicle
In its conclusions, this movie is so cynical, so evil, that it would inspire despair were it not so incompetent.

I don't really know what to say....It's a good movie...It have twists and turns that you didn't see coming. But come on....we can all tell it's just a Basic Instinc wanna be (never can be) Like....Richard Gere and Kim Basinger...Is it just me or is that just a cheap rip of of Douglas and Stone? Well as I said....Good movie, good story,good actors. But still...never can be

Not a bad suspense film about a psychiatrist who becomes a murder suspect. But I like Richard Gere and Kim Basinger as well as they reunited again since 1986's <i>No Mercy</i>.
