Warning: Spoilers
Growing up I thought Madonna was as sexy as a person could possibly get and this movie might have been the zenith of that for me. Just in terms of her beauty, flirtatiousness, and the movies content. It was probably the first movie over rated R I watched and learned about S&M for the first time.

In a funny scene in the beginning of the movie a kid asks his dad Can You Really screw someone to death? In reality that's what the movie consists of. Madonna or Rebecca is accused of loving her victim to death by a combination of cocaine and sex to kill him. Willem Dafoe plays the later to defend Rebecca who falls astray and get seduced by her in the process.

Maybe because have a soft spot for it but I think it's actually a decent movie. Is Rebecca just a very sexually liberated open women or is she a deadly gold digger? The courtroom scenes I thought were done fairly well and the movie has a solid cast as well with Julianne Moore, Joe Montagna, Ann Archer, and Frank Langella. In my opinion it was a better movie than Basic Instinct which came out around the same time

WARNING Spoilers: When Rebecca whispers in Frank's ear you almost convinced me I still get chills. I know a lot of big Madonna fans wanted to see her live at the end and get away with it. And I would be okay with that ending as well. But, I liked one of the last lines in that movie about karma and people usually getting what they deserve.
