From Amazon.co.uk
Frequently given short shrift as soft porn (which it is) and as mindless (which it isn't), director Adrian Lyne's follow-up to Flashdance (insert own joke here) is a thoughtful, smutty film about a bad sexual relationship. It follows the two-month affair between Elizabeth, an art-gallery dealer, and John, a Wall Street executive. The relationship spirals downward into raunchier sex (filmed, by the way, quite nicely) but principally is about two adults doing adult things but not acting anything like real adults. Attempts at actual human connection, about the longing to be "good", are present here and make this an above-average erotic film. Rourke is just honing his scumbag, bad-boy persona; but it doesn't overwhelm. At least there's lots and lots of Kim Basinger. --Keith Simanton, Amazon.com
Product Description
A steamy relationship between Elizabeth and John intensifies into an erotic nightmare of fantasy and domination.

An attractive art dealer meets a wealthy broker in a a sandwich shop and first what is seen as a passionate relationship spirals into a dangerous affair, a dark obsession. She thinks she has met a wonderfull guy but is fooled by the masquerade he projects, this guy has a hidden agenda and he has caught her in his web. A great film which youd love to watch over again with lots of edge on the seat moments, great believable acting from two of films prestigious names. Is a must buy!

On the beginning I was surprised of opinion of my mates that the movie is not so bad. I was very dissapointed. But after few times my opinnion changed about 180 degrees. Now this is my one of the best movies and I can not stand fact that it is not yet realized in DVD format in Europe. Mickey and Kim are so real and they created lovers as nobody before. I am so sorry for my english but I hope that you understood my review.

I just love this movie, its a must see for all those who loved 'basic instinct'. Tense, daring, sensuous as well as sexual, this film has it all. It really was before its time and is still very original. Its not just 'erotica' as some would think, there is fantastic and thought provoking storyline. The sexual chemistry between Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger is sizzling and palpable. It stands still as one of the best 'sexual thrillers' a real fight between the heart and the mind. Be prepared for some shocks and some dark moments in this movie, but it is well worth the watch and one for the collection I think!

Bit of a let down
I didn't really enjoy it. I felt it didn't live up to the hype and also I found it very hard to actually hear the dialogue

Boring
Not what we thought it was going to be like. Turned off after 30 mins as it seemed to bore us.

misunderstood thriller
Rourke and Basinger share character chemistry (despite rumoured creative differences) in what is actually a psychological thriller about the tragedy of obsessive relationships. Read more
