Review of Basic Instinct (1992) by Steven1981 — 19 Mar 2020

Basic Instinct was a thriller made in 1992 with some sex scenes and nudity. It stars Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone and is pretty well directed by the one and only Paul Verhoeven who did RoboCop and Total Recall.

The storyline to Basic Instinct is rather simple really and it's about some dude named Johnny Boz who is attacked in bed during sex with a blonde chick but we never know the blonde chicks identity as we never see her face, only the back of her naked body during the sex but Johnny Boz is attacked and killed by a knife or icepick in bed.

I think it's an icepick and the next thing we know is the crime scene is being investigated by detectives and whatever and I think they recover the pick, the crime scene itself is very bloody and traces of siemen on the bedsheets and they somehow connect the victim to Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone).

She gets interviewed time and time again throughout the film and takes a lie detector test and Michael Douglas who plays a cop Nick Curran believes she is lying and cheated the test. Michael Douglas gets sexually involved with Sharon Stone (Catherine Tramell) in the movie probably in a bid to catch her in the act and arrest her.

Jeanne Tripplehorn who hangs around with Michael Douglas in the movie has a criminal record as Michael Douglas who plays Nick Curran the cop later finds out. George Dzundza who's Michael Douglas's cop partner friend through some of the movie later gets killed and an icepick and wig left at the crime scene and Jeanne Tripplehorn gets shot by Michael Douglas because she's the suspect and Michael Douglas thinks she's about to draw a gun on him but turns out to be Bart Simpson toy or some keys or rubbish like that.

Michael Douglas who plays Nick Curran in Basic Instinct keeps hanging with Sharon Stone in the movie who plays Catherine Tramell and having conversations with her, questioning her, acting like her buddy and even sees her undress wearing no panties.

There's a scene where Michael Douglas and Stone are in a nightclub and slowly get close to each other in a passionate way I'd say. A friend of Sharon Stone's character in the film called Roxy drives her car at Michael Douglas, knocking him over and speeds off but Douglas chases her in another car and Roxy's car drives off a ledge or cliff or something and is killed.

The sex scenes in Basic Instinct between Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas are beautifully directed and well made and good, the nudity also good and Sharon Stone as Catherine Tramell looks sexy and beautiful.

The leg crossing scene when Sharon Stone is questioned by police is stupid in my opinion but the acting in the film is good by all the cast and actors and actresses. The basic story of Basic Instinct is there's a killer on the loose who's obviously female but needs to be found and dealt with but Catherine Tramell played by Sharon Stone always lies and manipulates cops and the system.

We never find out who the killer is but Stone is always the main suspect and at the end of the film Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas are in bed and we see an icepick under the bed and the film ends. Not the best ending but good directing, good acting, some violence, bad language and sex scenes.
