Product Description
A POLICE DETECTIVE IS IN CHARGE OF THE INVESTIGATION OF A BRUTALMURDER, IN WHICH A BEAUTIFUL AND SEDUCTIVE WOMAN COULD BE INVOLVED.
Amazon.com
The take-no-prisoners sex thriller from 1992 now stands as a milestone in the career of screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, but in the hands of director Paul Verhoeven Basic Instinct is an undeniably stylish and provocative study of obsession. In the role that made her a star (and showed the audience a little more skin than she intended), Sharon Stone plays the cleverly manipulative novelist Catherine Tramell who snares San Francisco detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas) with her insatiable sexual appetite during the investigation of her boyfriend's murder. Tramell is the prime suspect, but the plot twists and turns until Curran is trapped in a dangerous cycle of dead ends and unsolved murders, never sure if Tramell is committing the crimes or if it is some other, unknown suspect. With a plot that keeps viewers guessing, Basic Instinct is the work of a director who is clearly in his element. --Jeff Shannon

After reading these 1 star reviews I had to comment. Get real. These characters display superb acting. The plot is awesome. After all these years I still immensely enjoy this film.
great suspense and VERY sexy January 7, 2010
A. Hendrix (USA)
totally an extraordinary movie its got GREAT sex scenes, but the woman in the movie is one of the CREEPIEST people i have ever seen on screen and as the mystery unfolds everyone thinks she is responsible for the killings until a few pieces of evidence turn up.........and the movie takes off and her lesbian lover wants to kill the cop investigating as she becomes taken by him.......its a GREAT all round action suspense movie although an ice pick and axe murder kind of keep this character from being overly appealing.......
bottom line is that she writes a horror romance and the investigating cops ex turns out to be the one who is obsessed on this woman and acts this out.....great story
i give it a PERFECT rating i love it
Basic Instinct January 5, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
When a cop's search for a ruthless killer leads him to wealthy and seductive author, his involvement turns personal, and he must balance their affair with the mounting evidence against her. Sharon Stone looks great in this movie and lives up to being one of the sexest and smartest women in Hollywood, acting opposite of one of the most respected men in Hollywood, Michael Douglas. This movie is one you have to see if you are a movie fan. It is full of twists and turns and an ending you would never have expected.
Good Packaging of an American Classic November 24, 2009
Scott Fowler (Gainesville, GA)
I'm a big fan of this movie. I wasn't ever allowed to see it under my parents, but now that they're out of my hair I finally got around to checking this one out. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love learning more about how our culture came to be, and I think this movie showed me some things about my parent generation. I guess I should be rating the delivery and packaging, though, instead of the actual film. I've popped in this version of Basic Instinct twice now and have no complaints to report! But, as long as the original is preserved, I'm pleased, so I guess I'm not a hard customer.
Great movie, regardless, but I can't compare this packaging of it to another.
