Review of Sliver (1993) by Jeremy K — 17 Aug 2004
Sliver (1993) Sharon Stone, William Baldwin, Tom Berenger, Martin Landau, Polly Walker, Nina Foch, CCH Pounder, Colleen Camp, Keene Curtis, Nicholas Pryor, Amanda Foreman, D: Phillip Noyce. Lonely book editor Stone moves into a high-rise Manhattan apartment complex beset with a history of deaths.
With her getting more and more involved with video-game designer Baldwin and writer Berenger on her pursuit, she gets the feeling someone is watching her and that?s when she has to choose who out of the two men is a killer.
Voyeuristic thriller/murder-mystery/REAR WINDOW-wannabe has a slumming director that stresses a high importance on selling sex and violence with no point. Joe Eszterhas?s script is exploitative and empty, with a whole lot of unresolved loose ends, and after reshooting the abrupt ending (that changed the killer?s identity); it?s still in need of another rewrite.
From an Ira Levin novel. Running Time: 106 minutes and rated R for strong sexual content and nudity, violence, and language. * ½.
