Looking to cash in on the kinky-sex-thriller-train started by Basic Instinct a year earlier, Body Of Evidence promised sensuality, high drama and top shelf acting.
The flick delivered on none of it.
The plot was too familiar: Rich guy is found dead, handcuffed to a bed with cocaine in his system. His kinky lover (played by Madonna) is arrested for his murder. Her attorney (played by Willem Dafoe) believes in her innocence, and falls for her charms. As the trial ends, however, he begins to suspect she may have committed the crime.
Yawn...
Body Of Evidence made Basic Instinct seem like an Academy Award winner. Madonna's stiff acting and the over-the-top sex stunts--do even the kinkiest among us wanna have sex on a bed of broken light bulbs?--made Sharon Stone's leg cross look genius in comparison.
Like a virgin indeed...
I'm still haunted by it.
