90s trash for sure and on the lesser end of the erotic thrillers of that era, but still a bit of fun (some unintentional). Madonna might have had a great bod but her acting stunk, though the others like Willem Dafoe and Joe Mantegna seemed to do okay at least. Like Jade (which came out in 1995) or Sliver (came out the same year as this), even if watchable, nothing terribly memorable. Basic Instinct still remains the best followed by Wild Things and Disclosure. Still, worse ways to spend 100-minutes...
