Plot: Madonna plays Rebecca Carlson, a sex bomb who parades naked in front of the open windows of her houseboat at all hours while the lobstermen catch crabs. This entry in the Basic Instinct sweepstakes poses the question: If love hurts, does sex kill? The judge and jury certainly want to find out when Rebecca's latest conquest, a multi-millionaire, dies of a heart attack while making love to her. Eight million dollars was bequeathed to Rebecca in his will, and District Attorney Robert Garrett (Joe Mantegna) is convinced that Rebecca, knowing that her rich lover had a weak heart, killed him with wild sex so that she could get her mitts on the money. Rebecca's lawyer, Frank Dulaney (Willem Dafoe), thinks differently, suspecting the millionaire's private secretary Joanne Braslow (Anne Archer) of the crime, since she was dumped by the millionaire for Rebecca. Besides which, Frank is attracted to Rebecca himself and throws legal ethics out the window as he starts a sadomasochistic affair with her. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Madonna as a Lethal Weapon ( A Tragedy ) ?
Added 10/11/2009

This is not quite a "who done it ?" mystery and it is not a parody of the genre so it should get some artistic credit for looking somewhat like that kind of movie. It is produced to be a little dark. It begins with some skin and that skin quickly turns out to be "cause of death" but is it murder ? A lot of people want to know and the answer is not clear. There is an ongoing investigation that gets all tangled up with more sex in unusual places. There is passion, betrayal and cover-up ! Is there a "good guy" in all of this ? Forget that Madonna shows some skin. Forget that her behavior is risquee. What's new ? She's a smart cookie and that comes through in her character. In the end, is she smart enough? You be the judge.

Drama/Murder Mystery or low grade Porn Flick Strike three on both
Added 7/19/2009

I rated this a one since there are no lower ratings.

What is right about this movie? Nothing.
What is wrong?

1) Children in a 4th grade play has better acting skills.
2) Is it a Murder Mystery or a Low grade Porn flick. It is both and neither. It struck out on both.
3) DO NOT let your children watch this movie. If you want to enjoy a good Murder mystery or a Porn flick pick other titles.

Basic Reject
Added 3/21/2009

Memo to Madonna: Try as you might, you're no Sharon Stone or Marlene Dietrich (who shot down the Material Girl's proposed remake of "The Blue Angel"). Furthermore, how did Willem Dafoe and Joe Mantegna get stuck in this turkey? "Body of Evidence" belongs in the top tier of any Madonna Bad Film Festival.

Madonna's acting abilty and body recall a very short, square piece of cement
Added 2/22/2009

Sexless and depressing. Madonna's attempts to beat Sharon Stone as big screen sex early 90's goddess are about as lethal as last week's lettuce. madonna does not seem to get that sex symbols are built like hourglasses not boys on steroids. You also have to not be self consciousness to be sexual on screen which is all she radiates. madonna, not surprisingly, makes a terrible porn star! Rent Kim Kardashian, Nadine Jansen or Danni Ashe unless you are into watching men on steroids with bleached hair fake orgasms and play with melted candles.

Basic Instinct that stinks
Added 10/5/2007

This film seems to be a divorce gift from Madonna to Sean Penn. After hot tempered fits of bondage and domination fueled by alcohol split their marriage up, she still claimed to love him. Madonna monotones her lines as she strips to keep us guessing, Did she do the murder or not? William Dafoe snarls, grimmaces and shouts as her attorney seduced by her devious games, at times resembling Talman's Hamilton Berger on Perry Mason. If anyone should divorce a cruel partner they should have him or her sentenced to a prison where this is the only film to watch. Like Basic Instinct, but it really stinks and is one of the worst films ever made.
