"What are you guys going to do? Charge me with smoking?"
Sharon Stone is cast as the sexy and risk addicted Catherine Tramell, who ends up seducing Michael Douglas' character Det. Nick Curran, a very screwed up cop who is investing the manipulative mind-game playing bisexual novelist, the prime suspect in the investigation of the vicious death via ice pick of a former rock star/ ex boyfriend Johnny Boz.
Tramell complicates things further when she reveals that her next book is about a detective who falls for the wrong girl! And her other books about murder and sex have a really strange way of coming true. Against his better judgment Nick begins a hot, heated, passionate sexual affair with Catherine and all around him bodies start dropping like flies but contradicting evidences force Nick to start questioning his own suspicions about Catherine's guilt.
Adding to the confusion is Nick's psychologist and lover Jeanne Tripplehorn who has her own series of connections to the events at hand. You are at the edge of your seat, not because of the bedroom scenes but because you want to hear each and every dialog that can offer clues as to what is happening and what is going to happen.
Guys will love Sharon Stone's nude scenes and the infamous interrogation scene where she is questioned in a room full of cops. Of course it has been spoofed over and over again, but the fact remains that it truly is a gripping scene.
