Basic Instinct

Critics

Audience

A homicide detective investigates the brutal murder of a rock star and becomes entangled with a provocative novelist whose latest book eerily resembles the crime. As suspicion deepens, their dangerous attraction complicates the search for the truth.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like provocative, twisty erotic crime thrillers such as Cruising or Jagged Edge; Not for you if you prefer subtle, realistic mysteries or dislike graphic sex and violence.
