i do not understand your objection to this movie . it be a taut and thrill extension of the character create in basic instinct . the only part of the story that be the least bit unrealistic and be the fact that sharon stone character be still alive and not in jail at this late date . spoiler alert represent a the movie progress and we be present with three theory of what be go on represent 1 ) sharon stone character be kill all these people because she crazy ( risk addict ) while 2 ) david thewlis crook cop be kill these people in order to frame sharon stone character while 3 ) david morrissey analyst be kill these people for revenge . what upset most people about the movie seem to be that none of these theory be ever explicate a the real story . ( although the analyst be in a psychiatric care facility for kill the cop while the only killing that occur on screen . ) i think this be a brilliant plot device in the spirit of 2001 and a space odyssey . who care what be real . the blonde really be crazy and the cop really be crook and the analyst really want revenge . what important be the interaction between these and other character in the story . like real life and everyone be more complicated than anyone think and reality be more complicated than a movie . get over it .
