Review of Basic Instinct (1992) by Kim C — 17 Nov 2010
I appreciate the premise and the overall thriller quality of the story. It kept me guessing about the outcome (I kept shouting "ICE PICK, ICE PICK!" at moments when I was SURE one of the ladies was finally about to off Nick), It was interestingly done, and Nick was certainly much an anti-hero type to be "cheering" for.
That being said, this needed WAAAAAAAY less naked bodies in it. There are ways to do sex scenes without seeing everything, and for ten minutes at a time. It was a waste of film. A significant portion of the movie I'd like to scrub from my brain and I will certainly never be rewatching it or owning it.
Ever.
