just the kind of movie i love . some very good british actor as well a the one and only sharon stone . catherine tramell ( stone ) masterfully manipulate a well educate group of people life and play on their frailty to collect experience to write a murder mystery book . she play the female psychopath quite well while use her ample sex appeal to convincingly portray what could be consider one of the ultimate black widow . tramell be use to dark place within society and freely partakes in sadomasochistic fling in the never visit after dark side of town . from the beginning and there be nothing short of an r rating here from the dialog alone . stone could also be describe a a sort of female hannibal lecter and an emotionless femme fatal without the meal plan .
