A BASIC INSTINCT. HOW TO NOT WRITE A THRILLER

I needed to revisit this movie as a reminder of how NOT to write a movie. What a total piece of crap this is. I have strong perspectives on story structure, eroticism, and especially on murder mysteries and detective stories. This movie fails on every level and there is nothing interesting at all about this train wreck. Ifr Paul Verhoeven hadn't tricked Sharon Stone into uncrossing her legs for that one scene, th is movie wouldn't exist. the saddest part is it tries so hard to be a Hitchcock film. FAIL.
