Pseudo-intellectual convolutions !!!
When will American writers/directors/producers stop imitating bad European movies ?!
When will Sundance stop encouraging this type of cinema poison, based on vague "smart" ideas and mediocre writing or pretentious movie-making ?!
This looks and sounds very much like a pseudo psycho-thriller of the French or Italian 80's "brainy" trends...
It falls flat on it's face,simply because the concept of this film is so cerebral, the dialogs so bad... that only a great writer could may be pull it off in a forgettable book, let alone shoot it as a movie !
it is obvious from the first 10 minutes that bored husband and wife are playing erotic/intellectual games... She is the mysterious mistress and he is her secret lover... BORING !!!

THE FOURTH MAN AND BASIC INSTINCT : SAME SCRIPT !
Verhoeven made himself a name in Europe with the Fourth Man, and did it again in the USA (and world-wide) with Basic Instinct: They are both based on the same script, just turn the gay plot of The Fourth Man into a straight one and it becomes Basic Instinct !
