Critic Reviews

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

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

  • Don Willmott, Filmcritic.com

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

  • Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily

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

  • Clint Morris, Moviehole

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

  • Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum

    Horrible.

    To think that back in those days Stone could be in any shitty film, and yet, you would see it just for her tits.
