the women in this movie are very attractive
Bailey🏹Jan 27, 2018This movie works because: 1. Michael Douglas thinks Nick is the hero 2. Sharon Stone thinks Catherine is the villain 3. Paul Verhoeven knows they're both wrong
BrianApr 4, 2015"She's evil! She's brilliant!" Doctor Beth Garner on Catherine Trammel - note the order. In Vertigo, a man falls in love with the image of a woman and the woman dies as a direct result. In Basic Instinct, the image takes her revenge. This is a thriller about the…

Controversial and offensive. Enthralling and sexy. Featuring a star turn from Stone and no shortage of male character actors, Verhoeven and Eszterhas have crafted a sublime queer Erotic Thriller that doesn't play it safe or seek to appease audiences.
nic lovedBasic InstinctSo so so incredibly good wow. Could not take my eyes off the screen, this movie had me captivated. Hands down one of the best murder mysteries I’ve seen, if not the best.

CvptvinHowdy likedBasic InstinctI was always led to believe that this was pretty much a porno, and while it does have a lot of sex scenes, there's still a pretty decent mystery here.

7.1~A classic cinematic thriller filled with tension, obsession, and dangerous desire. The story unfolds through the eyes of men blinded by lust and ego, making reckless decisions without thinking of the consequences.It exposes human weakness and manipulation beneath the surface.
Amz Town is "meh" onBasic InstinctIt’s pretty overrated in my opinion. Yeah it’s a thriller, yeah she’s a nut, yeah she flashes her vag but apart from that it’s nothing that would make me watch it again. Maybe it’s because I’m a heterosexual female. It’s alright movie just not as gripping as I thought it would be
Jens Bak lovedBasic InstinctBasic Instinct is a very stylish murder mystery, filled with attractive people and ambiguous clues that keep the viewer guessing until the final scene. This is an excellent mystery for the nineties. The acting is excellent, especially Sharon Stone.

Bad politics sometimes makes for good movies, and the harsh, politically incorrect truth about Basic Instinct is that it's a tantalizing, suspensefully correct thriller.

Overpublicized and underbrained,Basic Instinct is a bitter disappointment, worth maybe a 10th of the hype that the media have so obligingly ladled out for its benefit.
Stephen Hunter

Basic Instinct's characters lack psychology and therefore motive. Admittedly they possess pathology, but that's not enough to maintain suspense in a movie with plot holes big enough to drive a tank through.
