The movie is a definite shame to those who long for a better portrayal of women in film, however. The attractively-shot film, combined with a fairly decent who-done-it plot and the afore-mentioned gratuitous footage, makes for a pretty interesting viewing. This movie has gained a modest amount of popularity over the years.

Jerry Goldsmith did the score to Basic Instinct, and it is an excellent one at that. But Verhoeven has never shied from over-the-top sex'n'gore, seeing as other films of his include the ever-blecky ' Showgirls,' as well as ' Robocop,' a movie which scared the Cherrios out of me when I was 10. Gay rights groups were a bit miffed about Tramell being a psychotic bi-sexual. Saturated with sex and violence, the movie proved quite controversial when it first arrived in theaters in 1992. Douglas, with a propensity for starring in movies where gorgeous women stalk him (see Fatal Attraction and Disclosure), is a haggard, 'fucked-up' cop following Catherine Tramell (Stone's character) and- willingly- gets tied up in her little web of dangerous games. A 1992 movie directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas and Jeanne Tripplehorn.įamous (or infamous) for Stone's brutal, leg-opening portrayal of a very smart, very rich bi-sexual writer being investigated for the murder of a rock legend.
