The PQ is very good for a 1990's release but I believe could have been better. The visuals is worth the money I paid.

What a piece of trash... a very interesting piece of trash. This is one of the most riveting movies I have ever seen. Michael Douglas & Sharon Stone are well cast in the leads. But I have a burning question: Is there one murderer or two murderers or is it three murderers? As many times as I have watched this movie I haven't been able to figure it out. And which one is the copycat: Sharon Stone or Jeanne Triplehorn? Who's the real blonde & does it matter? The movie is twisted & has a lot of twists. I never tire of watching this movie, I always seem to be looking for something I might've missed in a previous viewing but it's not there. Even without the gratuitous beaver shot I thoroughly enjoy this piece of trash. I love it & I'm still watching it. I need to chip some ice, anybody got an icepick?

Basic Instinct: The Director's Cut adds a couple quick "cuts" of violence in the movie's opening and includes a healthy pack of extended sexual scenes. This Movie really is the quint essential "Who Dunn it" film with more twists and turns playing on the audience than any film to date. The acting is superb all around. Sharon Stone does a masterful job in adding her charater's enveloping and persistent tension with each personal encounter. PQ is above average with solid colors. SQ is above average when things heat up, but as far as sound goes, this is not the kind of movie that demands an intense sound track. What does shine here is the musical score. The main montage is a beautiful and yet haunting piece which is subtle yet very powerful! Almost on a subconscious level. Basic Instinct is a true thriller of entertainment augmented by excellent directing, acting, music and plot. I have yet to see anything this well made in it's genre. A must own on BD!

When I first came upon this movie, it looked like just a typical murder mystery. After seeing it on tv, I knew it was my favorite movie. The unrated directors cut dvd is definitely worth the price. It includes a slightly longer version of the movie with more controversial footage.
The story revolves around the murder of a retired rock star. Detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas), who has a record of manslaughter and substance abuse, is on the case. He comes across the main suspect, Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone), the victim's partner. She is a novelist that describes the same murder in her newest novel.
Not long later, Nick is dragged into a dangerous game of cat and mouse as he becomes involved with Catherine. She lures him into the dark underworld of San Francisco, which brings up some disturbing results. bodies drop and Nick ends up facing a dark demon.
I would highly suggest this film to anyone, even if you don't like murder mysteries. This easily became my favorite movie of all time. Check out the new bonus features on the unrated dvd.

After years and years of hearing about this movie, I recently purchased it at a local Wal*Mart. Let me say this, do not underestimate this movie!
Although it may not be as shocking or cutting-edge as it was back in the day; this movie still provides a lot of substance from the original intention. The acting is superb. There is honest chemistry between Douglas and Stone; each play off of each other's strengths making it come off as genuine and not forced at all. The supporting characters also add essential realism and help develop the story even further. Within the characters, each has their own distinct personality and the viewer gets to know them pretty well by the end of the story. The characters are dramactic when called for, but also provide subtle comic relief when needed as well.
The directing however, is what makes this movie so well good. Everything from the script (kept relatively in its original form) all the way to the lighting and the way that affects how the viewer reacts to certain scenes. As for the nude/sex scenes; I believe they were done in a way that enhances the story and/or develops the characters further; not done just for the sake of doing them.
As I mentioned don't let this movie fool you. It is very well crafted and provides some good suspense and entertainment. After years of avoiding it, I'm glad I finally own it!
