Basic Instinct (1992)

Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone) is a vixen of the first stripe. She’ll flirt with anything that walks, she doesn’t hesitate to do that which pleases her and she won’t take prisoners when confronted with anything she thinks is standing in her way. She makes my heart go pitty-pat. Especially after she agrees to go to police headquarters to be interviewed about the murder of Johnny Boz (Bill Cable). Her manner as well as her body language had me as anxious and uncomfortable as her interrogators.
