Body of Evidence

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.

Who cares if 'Body of Evidence' is a so-called 'Basic Instincts' rip-off, and the plot is a bit bogus? It's escapism, so I say to all the critics just chill a bit and lay off this movie. Madonna is simply stunning in it and as an enormous fan of hers [practically in anything she endeavours], I cannot believe it took me until 2001 to watch this movie. I guess I was sucked in to believe it was worst than it actually turned out to be. I can say that, whilst this movie is not Oscar-material, it was enjoyable, sexy and intriguing. Why people take it so seriously is beyond me. I firmly believe it was too harshly criticised. I was pleasently surprised. Sure, Madonna has a long way to go before she is considered a serious actress and perfects her craft, but she fit perfectly into this femme-fatal role and is very convincing. She is a better actress than people give her credit for!

What a Movie! Leaves u begging for more... and in my opinion equally as good (if not better than) Basic Instinct. Madonna is at her sexiest and the movie prevails great suspense and surprises. Why was this movie so rejected? its not as bad as some i have seen that have got much more praise. and for one i don't understand why people don't like Madonna as an actress, that's the possible irritation to this movie for people... which is stupid... she is excellent and nowhere near out of place.. give this movie the benefit of a doubt. Its Erotic, Sexy, Sleak, Fun, and.... oh why was this movie put down again....?

I really enjoyed this movie because of Madonna, Madonna, and oh yes, Madonna. The plot is a joke, but Madonna steams up the screen considerably. This seemed like the perfect role for her, because it didn't even seem like she was acting. She so adeptly teases and torments Willem Dafoe that the viewer just knows that she is this kinky and sexy in real life! Madonna, handcuff me and drip candlewax on me anytime!
