Product Details

Product Description

From 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

4.0 out of 5 stars Instinct still Basic and going strong, Jan 26 2010
By Dave Hegland (West Coast Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Basic Instinct (Ultimate Edition) (DVD)
I just watched this again and still found it enthralling.
Not the best Micheal Douglas show.
Sharon was intense and WAS completely "this author", living all aspects she had arrived at or in.

4 of 5


Basic Instinct 2 lost its way early and I felt I was following "bad" vampire story (not a bad vampire story).

5.0 out of 5 stars A sexy Sharon Stone movie, Nov 21 2009
By Kevin Barton (Whitby, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Basic Instinct [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This movie has a big interest. I love this movie so much when it shows Sharon Stone crossing her legs. The white outfit Sharon Stone wore is the biggest knockout any woman would want to have. I agree with this movie and I am a big Sharon Stone fan. The leg crossing is not in the sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars The king of erotic thrillers!, Jun 26 2004
This review is from: Basic Instinct (Widescreen) (DVD)
"Basic Instinct" is one of the best films of the nineties. The best English-spoken film of Paul Verhoeven, ther same guy who brought us "Robocop", "Total Recall", "Showgirls" and "Starship Troopers". Michael Douglas gives a great performance as Nick Curran, the lucky cop. Sharon Stone is brilliant in what must be the best portrayal of a femme fatale ever filmed. She is such a charming devil, you can't help but admire her intellectual capacities and much more! You don't get the chance to see a film like this everyday. "Basic Instinct" remains the king of erotic thrillers -- it's gutsy, has a great deal of action (including two sophisticated car chase scenes), it's intelligent and so sexy... hot as Hell!

1.0 out of 5 stars The banality of soft porn
"Basic Instinct" is worth a few words as being possibly the worst popular movie ever made and marketed in the good ole U.S. of A. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Relied on erotic images to sell the film
BASIC INSTINCT is easily the most over-rated film of the 90's. I didn't like it in 1992, and watching the full uncut DVD version in 2004 I still feel the same. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Sex, sex, sex, sex and more sex. Nothing more, nothing less.
It's hilarious how worked up people got when this movie came out. The PC crowd decried the fact that a lesbian was the killer and, therefore, must have been the villan. Read more
