Basic Instinct (1992)

Second viewing; first viewed on November 11, 1993.

A man is murdered during the sexual act. The police detective in charge of the investigation gets involved with the victim's sexual partner, who is a prime suspect.

Interesting thriller. Extensively parodied, it is by itself a comedy. I liked it better than on my first viewing. I still do not find it a great movie. Opinions apparently have diverged as to whether it is a feminist or a misogynistic movie. Males seem to lean toward the former and females toward the latter interpretation.

Rating: 50 (up from 44)
