This Oscar-nominated film caused a fuss because of its steamy sex scenes, but it’s an excellent crime thriller in its own right.

He’s convinced that the rocker’s girlfriend, a crime novelist (Sharon Stone), committed the crime but she’s so smart and manipulative he finds himself playing a dangerous lust-filled game.
