jakebriggs-69109 Sliver is billed as an erotic thriller. It is erotic all right but there isn't much thrill in here. A young, good looking female moves into a tall building in NYC but it turns out there are a lot of skeletons hiding among the residents. Billy Baldwin is the male lead although this is Stone's film. Although the sex scenes are good there is no story to go with it. Upon looking at the wiki article I saw that the film was a financial disaster and I can see why. One needs a good foundation- a script of worth on which all the other features can stand. Sliver gets the erotic bits alright but fails to deliver a story. Still, worth a watch.

gridoon2018 Joe Eszterhas' erotic thrillers are like cinematic junk food: not nutritious, but tasty. "Sliver" plays almost like a gender-reversed "Basic Instinct", but lightning doesn't strike twice: the sex scenes are unremarkable (except maybe for the fact that you see more nudity from William Baldwin than from Sharon Stone in them), and there is nowhere near the same tension (or action). On the other hand, Eszterhas' subplot about the ethics of voyeurism and about "real life" as the ultimate soap opera was prophetic in the pre-"Big Brother" era. Baldwin's poor acting is a detriment, but Stone is very good in a role far removed from Catherine Tremell; nice, funny little turn by Colleen Camp as her colleague. **1/2 out of 4.

Predrag Great performances from all three leads and equally as good as "Basic Instinct". Sharon Stone plays a woman who moves into a fancy New York apartment where a woman was murdered. It's also revealed hidden cameras have been installed and her every move is being watched. There is a great story-line in this thriller, and is full of twists and turns and you just don't know how it will end! Sharon Stone is an extraordinarily good actress who can turn her hand easily to whatever character she plays. In this film she is very vulnerable and likable. She doesn't disappoint in this film, as neither do the other well known stars, Berenger and Baldwin.There are some tense moments as the possible guilt of one of the two suspects swings back and forth between them. There is a cameo part for Martin Landau as Carly's Editor-in-chief, Alex Parsons. This is an entertaining thriller, quite erotic in parts as Sharon Stone's movies often are. I'm not saying it's the best ever, but Sliver is plenty of fun for men & women alike who enjoy thrillers.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

Deliberate_Stranger 'Sliver' is easily one of the worst entries in Sharon Stone's filmography. Written by a Joe Eszterhas - the genius who gave us 'Basic Instinct' (which obviously made Sharon famous) the film lacks to deliver. It's suppose to be a tense thriller but there is nothing tense about it. Whole thing lasts for almost 2 hours and is horribly boring for the most of it. Sharon Stone gives a decent performance as she always does but she's very, very far from her top. It's not 'Basic Instinct', hell It's even far from 'Year of the Gun'. William Baldwin is annoying as usual but he does his 'creepo' part quite OK. It was nice to see Tom Berenger, he was probably the best thing about the movie, his acting was kinda memorable so was his character. If you are looking for a tense, erotic thriller, you will be disappointed. It plays better as a drama, there is no suspense, no action, no real twists, nothing you would be excited about. 'Sliver' is barely watchable once. Do yourself a favor and pick the better choice.
