Watch Sliver For Free

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

If ever there was a movie that sold on Sharon Stone's sexual heat, it's SLIVER. But the scenes in which she takes off her clothes are few and far between in an otherwise overlong crime thriller. Baldwin and Berenger are both miscast, the mystery is pretty inept and it's shot like something for MTV. This is completely disposable Skinemax stuff - more like mid-'90s Traci Lords material - and the only thing it seems to want to say is that we're all voyeurs deep down. Were that message not delivered with a sledgehammer, you might have something. But this thing moves like molasses and there's no real point. 3/10

Sharon Stone plays a book editor who moves into a luxury apartment block named "Sliver" vacated by a woman who "mysteriously" fell to her death from her balcony.Also mysteriously someone is watching her (and everybody else in the apartment block) with top-notch technology and following every moment whatever they are doing.William Baldwin and Polly Walker star as the neighbours and Tom Berenger stars a novelist who tries to romance Stone.Then follows the tedious attempts at the eroticism it advertises and desperately trying to create mystery, thrills and drama but the plot just witters into boring romps and dirty talk and tries to rush the drama back in.Sharon Stone and Tom Berenger are criminally wasted here despite their efforts while William Baldwin and Polly Walker are woeful.Based a novel of the same name but obviously trying to cash in Sharon Stone's success with the previous year's Basic Instinct, director Philip Noyce and screenplay writer Joe Eszterhas don't give much material to work from and it could have been much better if more carefully handled.Don't bother unless you fancy a moan like me.

I waited 18 years to see this movie because I had always heard how terrible it is. When it first came out, I seem to recall thinking it highly implausible that someone could have the kind of video and audio equipment you see in this movie. But the equipment and its use in the film is entirely plausible, even in 1993.I found no problems with the plot. It's an interesting thriller with something that's hard to find--a unique story that hasn't been told a thousand times already. The acting is good. The characters and their actions are completely believable. I was never left thinking that a real person might not have done the things that the people in the movie did.Having seen the movie, I really don't understand why so many people criticize it so harshly. In terms of telling a compelling, entertaining story, I would say it is far better than movies like Hereafter and on par with a movie like the Adjustment Bureau (just two recent movies I could think to compare it to).If you haven't seen it, give it a chance.

Sliver starts out fine, but it ages like milk, and by the end, it kind of stinksDumb would be the easiest way to label Sliver, but to be more specific, I would call it immature. This is the kind of material where high profile people have low profile brains, resulting in a motion picture which intends to be dramatic by relying almost entirely on characters doing and saying vulgar, improper things: icky flirting, gratuitous sex and biggest of all, invading the privacy of others.Voyeurism is the main topic here. Having its roots Hitchcock, Sliver tries to take the peeping tom effect to the highest high it seems. Director Phillip Noyce sells it to us well visually, but he is unable to use it effectively as a plot device or for suspense. The cast are unable to perform with solidity, the story is unable to achieve focus, and the end product is not recommendable, even for those who get off on erotic thrillers. Try looking somewhere else.
