Basic Instinct - 1992 - 7/10

Rough sex escalates into blood soaked sheets. The deceased, a famed rock star.
No witnesses, main suspect is the musician’s crime writer girlfriend.
Our inspector makes up his mind early on, and attempts to play mind games with the suspect.
Trashy Neo-Noir is smutty, sleazy, and a gorgeous homage to the Noir period.
Douglas perfect as the strait laced, simmering detective, Stone unforgettable as the manipulative femme fatale.
Splendid use of San Francisco locations, enhanced with a moody Jerry Goldsmith score.
For whatever reason, anytime I head to the Bay area, I watch this the night before.
