home video tape of him and his lover. When cocaine is found in his
system, and his will leaves $8 million to his lover, they arrest her on
suspicion of murder. Her lawyer succumbs to her charms, and he begins a
torrid and kinky affair with her. As new evidence turns up during trial,
he begins to wonder if he's defending a murderer.
Movie Reviews :
It's
been a while since Body of Evidence was released to theaters and
rejected by critics and the public. But I'm not at all ashamed to admit
that I still get kicks out of popping this film into the vcr and
getting completely entangled in the story. It's thought provoking. Can
someone literally be, umm, sexed to death?
And why do people
think Madonna did such a bad job in this film? She was perfect in doing
exactly what she needed to in order to develop her character--the
sultry Rebecca Carlson. I mean, come on! Who else could look so sexy as
the mega bad girl delivering a line like "I f***--that's what I do."
Madonna is superb and I think she really proved critics wrong when she
won a golden globe for Evita a few years after Body of Evidence was
released.
The plot of this movie is one of the most interesting
story lines I have ever known. Is Rebecca a out of control dominatrix
who really did sex her much older lover to death? That's what the
prosecution tries to prove as they charge her for murder after her
wealthy older lover is found dead. Throughout the film, the plot
thickens and you're not sure if Rebecca is a murderous bitch or not.
And the sex scenes in this are highly erotic! Madonna, come my way with
that candle wax any day of the week! And the look in her eyes as she
teases her lawyer by shoving her fingers down her panties---Geez, that
look is classic!
Body of Evidence may not be Oscar caliber, but
hell, was Titanic? I don't think so. But if you're in for a sinful
delight, you should go rent Body of Evidence right now.
