Madonna isn't merely the prime suspect in the scandalous murder of a millionaire with kinky appetites; she's the murder weapon itself in this erotic thriller in the Basic Instinct mode. The art gallery owner by day and icy-blond dominatrix by night is accused of, shall we say, "loving" her victim to death, and Willem Dafoe is the happily married lawyer she lures into the dark thrills of pleasure and pain. The actual mystery is perfunctory at best and the absurd courtroom theatrics a mere formality in a film far more fascinated with sweaty sex, hot wax, and broken glass. Madonna isn't shy about her body and seems to enjoy the games her character plays, but she's no Sharon Stone; there's no danger smoldering behind her seduction. Like her notorious book Sex, this is a handsomely shot work of pure exhibitionism. --Sean Axmaker

 Trashy and so bad that it's not even much fun December 31, 2009
One-Line Film Reviews (Easton, MD)
The Bottom Line:
One of those sleazy erotic thrillers that were hastily rushed into production once Basic Instinct became a smash, Body of Evidence has lawyer Willem Dafoe falling for femme fatale Madonna, who's on trial for using her sexy, sexy body as a deadly, deadly weapon; it sounds like it'll be lots of unsophisticated fun but it's actually just incredibly bad, misogynistic, dumb, etc.

 Madonna as a Lethal Weapon ( A Tragedy ) ? October 11, 2009
C. F. Mullins (Springfield, OH)
This is not quite a "who done it ?" mystery and it is not a parody of the genre so it should get some artistic credit for looking somewhat like that kind of movie. It is produced to be a little dark. It begins with some skin and that skin quickly turns out to be "cause of death" but is it murder ? A lot of people want to know and the answer is not clear. There is an ongoing investigation that gets all tangled up with more sex in unusual places. There is passion, betrayal and cover-up ! Is there a "good guy" in all of this ? Forget that Madonna shows some skin. Forget that her behavior is risquee. What's new ? She's a smart cookie and that comes through in her character. In the end, is she smart enough? You be the judge.
 Drama/Murder Mystery or low grade Porn Flick Strike three on both July 19, 2009
Nancy Kozuch (Kittanning, PA)
I rated this a one since there are no lower ratings.
What is right about this movie? Nothing.
What is wrong?
1) Children in a 4th grade play has better acting skills.
2) Is it a Murder Mystery or a Low grade Porn flick. It is both and neither. It struck out on both.
3) DO NOT let your children watch this movie. If you want to enjoy a good Murder mystery or a Porn flick pick other titles.

Memo to Madonna: Try as you might, you're no Sharon Stone or Marlene Dietrich (who shot down the Material Girl's proposed remake of "The Blue Angel"). Furthermore, how did Willem Dafoe and Joe Mantegna get stuck in this turkey? "Body of Evidence" belongs in the top tier of any Madonna Bad Film Festival.
Madonna's acting abilty and body recall a very short, square piece of cement February 22, 2009

Sexless and depressing. Madonna's attempts to beat Sharon Stone as big screen sex early 90's goddess are about as lethal as last week's lettuce. madonna does not seem to get that sex symbols are built like hourglasses not boys on steroids. You also have to not be self consciousness to be sexual on screen which is all she radiates. madonna, not surprisingly, makes a terrible porn star! Rent Kim Kardashian, Nadine Jansen or Danni Ashe unless you are into watching men on steroids with bleached hair fake orgasms and play with melted candles.
