Basic Instinct (1992)



Trailer

The retired rock star and club owner, Johnny Boz (Bill Cable), "gets off while getting off" with a little help of a mysterious blonde's ice pick. Nick Curran (Michael Douglas), a homicide detective with the San Francisco Police Department, and his partner, Gus Moran (George Dzundza), pick up the case and start investigating their first suspect, Boz's girlfriend, crime novelist Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone). Boz's murder looks exactly like that in one of Tramell's books but she has an alibi and passes the lie detector test. However, Curran still thinks she's the killer and lets himself be pulled into Tramell's web of manipulation, mainly because he has a hard-on.

Decent thriller we've all seen a couple of times. The suspense keeps getting built up nicely and there are some good twists but the rest is routine. Basic Instinct is Paul Verhoeven's last watchable American film. From what I know, he's back in Europe.
