Dr. Michael Glass (David Morrissey), a respected London criminal psychiatrist, is brought in by Scotland Yard detective Roy Washburn (David Thewlis) to perform a psychiatrist profile and evaluation of Tramell following the mysterious death of a top sports star. Physically drawn to Tramell and mentally intrigued by her, Glass, against the advice of his mentor, Dr. Milena Gardosh (Charlotte Rampling), is quickly sucked into her web of lies and seduction. The professional boundaries between Glass and Tramell are obliterated when she uncovers his basic instincts. A deadly battle of wits ensues, climaxing as Glass faces a choice that will change both their lives forever.

My Review: Haven't seen the prequel but having heard great reviews about it is what compelled me to checkout this flick. The movie was kind of slow but things started heating up as the movie progressed & I started becoming more & more engrossed in this psychological thriller. Sharon Stone although now in her late 40's has still managed to portray her seductive side with full ease. She could easily beat up any woman in the industry half her age just by her looks. Anyway. the movie is all about how she manipulates the mind of this psychiatrist with lies & seduction and finally succeeds in what she had planned for! Great movie in my opinion, but I'm still wondering why was it a big flop?? Maybe I should find a chance to watch the prequel & maybe then I'd realise what this movie is really worth? Until then a 4 stars from me!
