Editorial Review:
After her success with Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone opted for familiar territory with this campfest that purports to be a sexualized thriller about voyeurism but in reality is more of an excuse to get Stone and costar William Baldwin out of their clothes. Rear Window it ain't. Stone plays it drab and quiet as a successful career woman on the rebound from a bad marriage who moves into a mysterious Manhattan high-rise. Once there, she discovers that she has a few admirers: a hunky and enigmatic neighbor (Baldwin), a popular writer of crime novels (Tom Berenger), and someone who seems to enjoy watching her every move on the building-wide surveillance system. And is one of them the serial killer who's stalking the comely female tenants? Scripted by the erstwhile Joe Eszterhas (Basic Instinct and Jagged Edge), Sliver follows the standard Eszterhas plot line of a protagonist suspecting that his or her lover may or may not be a vicious killer, the tension mounting as clue upon clue is discovered. Unlike both Instinct or Edge, though, Sliver delivers little suspense, thanks in part to a reshot ending that changed the original identity of the killer in the Ira Levin novel and confounded students of rational thought. However, if you're looking for an unintentionally funny thriller with loads of extraneous nudity, Sliver is an enjoyably huge hunk of cheese. --Mark Englehart

Rating:  - What does Unrated Edition mean?
I have the "Unrated Edition" but I can't figure out what that is supposed to mean. There are no special features, no content that would merit a rating more restrictive than R. I don't get it.
I understand the ending is different from the book and apparently some of the famous plot holes would not be if the book's ending was used.
Rating:  - The follow up to Basic Instinct.
At least that's what Hollyweird was touting this as.
They were wrong, DEAD wrong.
Male nudity, big deal.
Sharon Stone, naked, when isn't she?
The story sucked, BIG TIME.
Boring voyeur nonsense.
A forgettable, nudy thriller if there ever was one.
Start, hated it!
Middle, wanted to leave, but didn't!!!!
End, took long enough for this disaster to finish but I'm glad it did.
AVOID!!!!!!!!!!
Rating:  - Sliver of Voyuerism
When I was younger I never appreciated this flick. Now that I am older, I really enjoy this. I think this is one of Sharon Stone's best performances.
Rating: - How Weird can one person be?
I Do like the sex scenes in this movie kinda Freaky!!
I think the guy is kinda deranged having a video camera in everyones apartment!!
I would rate this movie a 7 from 1to10!!
Rating:  - The Patriot Act in an apartment building?
I just don't know about these Baldwin boys, so here this one is in this apartment complex and he is watching everyone on these television screens. Then yeah he does bed down Sharon Stone but by now we have all seen basic instinct so we are expecting the Douglas clan to come and join in on the fun. I guess if you want to see this guy get it on with her that is fine, but really people it is scary that they are watching you know? And I mean this film is dated because now we all have Google Earth ... Read More
