Leave your thoughts about Sliver.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleFor all of Stone’s skill, there’s something naggingly remote about her. She has the beauty and confidence of Grace Kelly without the warmth that made Kelly’s sexiness seem at once playful and glamorous. |
| Countingdown.comLarry CarrollSliver has a few mildly memorable moments, but is for the most part a waste of time. It is indicative of the poor career choices Sharon Stone made once she became a household name. |
| The Seattle TimesJeff ShannonIf you're after Sharon Stone in the buff, rent Basic Instinct. It's not a terrible way to spend an hour and a half but it just doesn't fulfill its potential. Stone and Baldwin try to get raunchy but find themselves in desperate need of a fluffer. |
| New YorkerMichael SragowSharon Stone goes cold in this botched thiller-maybe from the effort of pretending that her character, a beauteous book editor, would fall for the preening young computer wizard played by the vacant-and-proud-of-it William Baldwin. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyA glossy, trashy psychological thriller that manages to entertain despite a reshot ending which is too abrupt. |
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonBogged down by dialogue by the vaunted Joe Eszterhas that utterly fails in its attempts at chic Manhattan wit, Sliver proceeds at an escargot pace to unfold the creepy happenings. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThe new erotic thriller that somehow manages to make voyeurism seem about as exciting as one of Cher's infomercials. |
| Baltimore SunSteve McKerrowBut worse, it never offers much of a mystery at all, for the identity of the killer arrives with no great surprise, and without a clue as to his motive. |
| Filmcritic.comDon WillmottDirector Phillip Noyce's camera will leer at anything that clenches and unclenches with a steady rhythm. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyPhillip Noyce, the Australian who directed "Patriot Games" and "Dead Calm," knows from thrillers, but "Sliver" is more of a friller. It's not scary but the decorator was good. Stone, who spends a considerable amount of time biting her lip, chewing her finger, moaning, grunting, writhing and wiggling, also proves that she's a good actress when she is wearing her underpants. It's just that Baldwin can leave no side of Stone unturned and there's so little time to emote. |
