'Body of Evidence' is a bad imitation
By JACKIE COOPER
HHJ Entertainment Writer
Everything that was good about
"Basic Instinct" is bad in the imita
tive "Body of Evidence." And every
thing that was bad in "Basic
Instinct" is worse in this Madonna
starrer. There is more graphic sex,
kinkier sex and never ending sex in
"Body of Evidence" but everything
else is in the minus column.
Madonna plays Rebecca Carlson,
a wildly cxpcrimcntativc young
woman who likes to find older men
with money and then give their
hearts a workout. As the movie
opens one of her lovers has died
after a session with Rebecca. This
being Oregon, where such things
arc frowned upon, Ms. Carlson is
soon charged with killing the man.
Her wcapon-hcr body.
Rebecca's case is taken by a slick
attorney named Frank Dulaney. He
doesn't care if she is guilty or inno
cent, that's the state's problem; he
just wants to give her a good de
fense.
Before long Frank is researching
the evidence a little too thoroughly.
He becomes drawn into Rebecca's
web and becomes the fly to her spi
der. This of course doesn't make his
wife (Juliannc Moore) happy.
The movie moves from one
sappy situation to another with the
plot always lagging behind another
graphic sex sequence. Be warned,
the sex is plentiful in this movie
but it is strangely non-erotic and
sleazy to the extreme. Discomfort
rather than stimulation is the result
of seeing Madonna and Dafoe em
brace amid shattered glass on top of
a car.
Willem Dafoe has always been a
competent actor but this movie
docs not bring out his best perfor
mance. The more he tries to play
"Mr. Normal" the more bizarre he
becomes. And his character is so
unlikablc that you can't even root
for him to gel back together with
his wife.
Then there is Ms. Madonna. As
an actress, Madonna is a good
garbage collector. She has no skill
in speaking lines or even feigning
passion. All she does with any ex
pertise is remove her clothes but
then practice makes perfect.

Madonna stars in MGM's erotic thriller "Body of Evidence", a Dino De Laurentiis
production.
look as though they wish they were
somewhere else. But times arc
tough m Hollywood and no one
passes up a role in a major motion
picture. But these guys should
have!
The film is rated R for nudity and
profanity.
If only Madonna had looked bet
ter in this move, or shown some
spark of life, or had some sem
blance of sex appeal, but she didn't
and the movie sinks beneath her
lightweight acting efforts.
If Madonna was on trial for being
an actress there isn't a court in the
land which would find her guilty.
The reaction to this film should
send her rushing back to the secu
rity of her records and videos.
I scored "Body of Evidence" a
bared 3 out of 10.
