Basic Instinct (1992) is a classic erotic thriller that blends mystery, seduction, and psychological tension. Michael Douglas plays a morally flawed detective, and while his choices make him hard to fully connect with, his performance is strong. Sharon Stone, in her prime, delivers an iconic performance as the enigmatic and dangerously seductive Catherine Tramell. The film’s mix of intrigue and eroticism keeps it gripping, though the ending leaves room for debate—some might have preferred a more definitive comeuppance for Catherine. Still, it’s a defining film of its genre, with stylish direction and unforgettable moments.

The film is well-crafted, with solid musical numbers, though it might not fully convert non-musical or non-Robbie Williams fans. Still, it’s an engaging and well-executed film that stands out for its originality.
