Fatal Instinct
Cast: | Armand Assante, Sherilyn Fenn, Sean Young, John Witherspoon, James Remar |
One of the rash of stupid Flying High-inspired rip-offs that sunk like a stone on video and with good reason - most, like this film, weren't funny.
If veteran comic director Carl Reiner needed to send a message to Hollywood saying he was washed up, this was it. Ripping off the sexy murder mystery thrillers of the Verhoeven/Esterhas heyday, it pits Armand Assante as the hero finding his way through contrived and unfunny send ups of Basic Instinct, Sleep With the Enemy et al.
