Plots(1)
An elderly millionaire is found dead in his bedroom, the apparent victim of a heart attack. But the wealthy septuagenarian may have been murdered. His secretary claims this is so, and the police investigation uncovers evidence pointing to the dead man's kinky sexual affair with gallery owner Rebecca Carlson -- a woman who stands to inherit $8 million dollars from the deceased's estate. The District Attorney's office charges Rebecca with murder. The weapon: her own deadly body. Hot-shot Portland defense lawyer Frank Dulaney decides to defend Ms. Carlson, and he's convinced of her innocence, at first. But soon he and Rebecca are sharing handcuffs, dripping hot candle wax on each other's bodies and having sex on car rooftops. His mind clouded by lust, Dulaney continues to believe that Rebecca is innocent of all charges -- until he finds his faith in the fatal temptress shaken by a startling courtroom revelation.

I've always found Madonna to be in bad taste. Calling her a bad actress would still be a compliment. I don’t think the term actress applies at all. The film failed in all respects, from the lousy script to Madonna. Even though Dafoe/Mantegna tried quite hard, there wasn't really much for them to do. It’s an awful piece of crap and an attempt to ride the wave of success of someone much more capable.

A blatant rip-off of Basic Instinct. And an incredibly bad one at that.
