Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

patrick powell A well-known phrase is 'nice try, but no cigar', Sliver doesn't even rate as a 'nice try'. That's a shame because Sharon Stone deserved better than this (though as a working actress, I'm sure she enjoyed, well, the work). The film starts in a pretty conventional manner, though in a manner you have seen many times before, but a slow decline starts quite soon. For one thing William Baldwin is throughly miscast, and although Tom Berenger is not, there is so little meat to his role that the guy has nothing to work with.The whole set-up is not even two-dimensional and there is just so much you just don't buy: the 'relationship' between Baldwin's character and Stone is at best ludicrous. None of the characters is fleshed out in any way at all, they are cyphers and nothing more. I've read that Stephen King described Ira Levin, who wrote the novel Sliver on which the film is based (he also wrote the novels Rosemary's Baby, The Stepford Wives and The Boys From Brazil which were all subsequently filmed) as 'the Swiss watchmaker of suspense novels, he makes what the rest of us do look like cheap watchmakers in drugstores'. Fair enough, though as I haven't read any of the novels I can't comment. What I can certainly say is that any subtlety and wit Levin put into his stories has completely disappeared in the film of his novel Sliver.It's as though the producers took various elements of what is known as a 'suspense' film and jammed them altogether without having much of an idea as to what they were doing. Well, I could go on, but what's the point. In sum: don't waste your time. Really. If you want to see how good an actress Stone can be in the right hands, get a copy of Scorsese's Casino. She nails it.

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.

AaronCapenBanner Philip Noyce directed this steamy thriller that stars Sharon Stone as Carly Norris, a book editor moving into a New York apartment building owned by young Zeke Hawkins(played by William Baldwin) with whom she begins an affair, not knowing that he has secretly wired the entire building with his closed circuit television where he can watch all the tenants like a TV series. Tom Berenger plays Jack Landsford, an author who is also a murder suspect, as someone is murdering female tenants in the building, and Carly may be next... Misfired thriller is hopelessly muddled and unsatisfying, though Sharon Stone's sexy performance is by far the best thing about it.

dbdumonteil Looks like a cross between a subject novelist Levin had always broached in "Rosemary's baby" (the building where horrible things happen;beware of neighbors!) and "rear window" (voyeurism:the telescope James Stewart used in Hitchcock's classic ;the 'improvement" in Baldwin's apartment) The parts of the two male principals have been changed in comparison with Levin's novel and Tom Berenger is not given a single chance to shine ;the new screenplay does not make much sense ,considering the wealthy spoilt child's behavior and obsession with his fellow men's life ;more than the hot scenes,the best is this real "sitcom" the boy is watching all day long ;considering today's TV ,the movie was ahead of its time for that matter.Levin's novel was not in the same league as "Rosemary's baby" ,"a kiss before dying" or even "the Stepford wives" ;but it was more interesting than later horrors such as "son of Rosemary" and the director did not make the best of it.=
