Amazon.co.uk Review
A guilty pleasure but nothing more, Sliver is a tame thriller, made at the height of Sharon Stone’s fame as she rode high off the back of Basic Instinct. Where Sliver goes wrong though is in effectively trying to transpose the elements that made Stone’s name into the film (right down to getting Basic Instinct scribe Joe Ezterhas to pen the script) It doesn’t work, but you can’t deny that the mess it all ends up as isn’t strangely entertaining.

The plot follows Stone’s character as she rents a room in an elegant block of flats. So far so good. But then there’s the small matter that someone is using an extensive surveillance system to watch Stone and the other inhabitants of the flats. Could it be Alec Baldwin? Could it be Tom Berenger? As the two of them fight for Stone’s affections--replete with obligatory sex scenes--there's a high chance you won’t actually be that bothered, as the film desperately tries to grasp what made Basic Instinct a major hit, yet fairly brutally fails.

But still, there’s fun to be had. The acting is evenly under par, and Phillip Noyce’s direction is far from his best, yet thanks to a series of unintentional giggles and a fairly snappy pace, Sliver does has its moments. Just not that many of them…--Simon Brew

Synopsis
Carly Norris (Sharon Stone), a demure divorcee and book editor, moves in to New York City's tall, elegant Sliver building. Unbeknownst to Carly, though, fatal mysteries enshroud her new accommodations. Soon the centre of attention, Carly is befriended by Gus Hale (Keene Curtis), left gifts by a secret admirer, and pursued by two handsome men Zeke Hawkins (William Baldwin) and Jack Lansford (Tom Berenger). However, someone is using a very sophisticated surveillance system to watch the intimate lives of these tenants including Carly. SLIVER is based on a novel by Ira Levin (ROSEMARY'S BABY), although the script shares striking similarities with writer Joe Eszterhas's earlier BASIC INSTINCT screenplay. Phillip Noyce directs efficiently, and Polly Walker is striking as a Londoner out of her element in the coke-addled world of upscale Manhattan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Disturbing and steamy voyeuristic thriller , 27 Oct 2006
By pointone (Bournemouth UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Sliver stands for Sliver Heights a tall elegant apartment building where people mysteriously die, it is here that quiet and lonely book editor Carly Norris (Sharon Stone) rents a flat and meets the charming and persuasive Zeke Hawkins (William Baldwin) and tries to evade the attentions of failing author Jack Landsford (Tom Berenger).

An unseen menace lurks in the tranquil building, and a comprehensive surveillance system watches everything.

This was Stone's follow on film to "Basic Instinct" and fortunately she and Baldwin have excellent chemistry both dramatically and in the steamy erotic elements of the plot.

In the nature of the drama it cannot plumb the depths of the fascination of the voyeur being able to watch every aspect of other peoples lives. However the film does explore in a limited way the transformation taking place in the ordinary Carly Norris suddenly able to sit for hours spying on her neighbours, and that turns a small part of this thriller into an intriguing psychological drama.

Direction, acting and script make the most of a film that is a must for Sharon Stone fans.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worth just for Sharon Stone, 24 Jun 2007
By Jay "The Amazon Reviewer" (Mauritius) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This film is an obvious capitalization of Basic Instinct's success. As usual in these cases, it fails. While the plot is promising, it never creates the proper atmosphere and it lacks depth. It is worth just for Sharon Stone, who is a pleasure to watch, and the redeeming soundtrack.
