  This is a much misunderstood and underrated film. It is, in fact, a superbly crafted exploration by Adrian Lyne of lust versus love. While the film is ... read more »

  Watchable but the years have not been kind.
  
  Shame-this iconic erotic film has not aged now. No longer warrants an 18 as you will see more explicit sex on regular TV nowadays. Kim Bassinger is superb and ... read more »

  Kim Basinger.
  
  Arguably the most erotic film ever made (for general release), with some of the most memorable scenes, and the film that launched Kim Basinger as a sex symbol.<... read more »

  Too many black suits
  
  Many things about the 80s haven't weathered well and this is at the top of my list. Call me stupid and impressionable (shhh) but this used to be sexy. Now, ... read more »

  Dear me, this has NOT aged well at all! Kim Basinger is hot, but the performances are wooden. Mickey Rourke has gotten better in recent films, but he was dire ... read more »

  My heading says it all - honestly, rent this only if you've already lost the will to live.

  Not many people haven't seen this by now I would think. Very 1980's, glossy and empty but watchable and at times fairly erotic. Micky Rouke looks like a... read more »

  This is a dark erotic love story and not for the slushy love story watcher.
