Movie Mad Review:
Decadent and thrill seeking novelist Catherine Trammell (Sharon Stone) finds herself once more in trouble with the law, with an investigation of whether she murdered her football star boyfriend, after crashing a car into a river and escaping from it as he drowns.
Officials bring in a police psychologist (David Morrissey) to evaluate her and determine her mental state.
Though, like Detective Nick Curran before him, Glass is entranced by Tramell and obsession quickly sets in, luring the psychiatrist into a dangerous world of seductive games and manipulation.
As deaths occur around the pair, involving acquaintances of both parties, the story twists (and doesn't answer) to make you wonder who is committing the crimes.
Contains frequent nudity, depiction of orgies and graphic sexual encounters, constant profanity, and violence that is mostly committed off-camera.
After very poor reviews, i wasn't expecting much, but to be honest the critics have once more been unnecessarily harsh. The story is more engaging than you may anticipate, and will keep you guessing right to the end. Some of the nudity seemed inappropriate, but even at her age, Sharon Stone still looks great as the seductive and risk seeking Catherine.
Worth Watching ?
I enjoyed this more than i anticipated, so i would recommend it. Yes.
