Review of Basic Instinct (1992) by Kenneth Turan for Los Angeles Times — 09 Jul 2007
A reminder of the difference between exhilaration and exhaustion, between tension and hysteria, between eroticism and exhibitionism. The line may be fine, but it is real enough to separate the great thrillers from the also-rans.
And Basic Instinct is not a great thriller.
