HAVING sex while driving at 110mph isn't a good idea.

So when Catherine Tramell's (Sharon Stone) sports car plunges into water at the critical moment her drugged up boyfriend doesn't make it.

She gets charged with his murder.

Dr Michael Glass (David Morrissey) is the shrink brought in to assess whether she's mad.

"Narcissistic, manipulative and psychotic," is his verdict, telling the court that she is addicted to risk and a danger to herself.

But the court lets her go much to the dismay of cynical Welsh cop Roy Washburn (David Thewlis) who wants to "nail the bitch".

Crime novelist Catherine pursues Michael saying she needs him to treat her. After lots of camera angles of her legs and some smouldering looks, he is entranced and protests that he doesn't socialise with his patients are all forgotten.

As they get it together, all around them people are being mysteriously murdered including Michael's ex-wife with much of the evidence pointing to Catherine.

Is she a serial killer or is it the crooked cop?

And does anyone really care.

Morrissey and Thewlis, both excellent actors are wasted on this nonsense. Stone still looks foxy but if you are waiting for her to uncross her legs again - she doesn't!
