On April 16 1993, Body Of Evidence (starring Madonna) opened in cinemas across the U.K.
Roger Ebert had this to say about the film:
I’ve seen comedies with fewer laughs than Body of Evidence, and this is a movie that isn’t even trying to be funny. It’s an excruciatingly incompetent entry in the Basic Instinct genre, filled with lines that only a screenwriter could love, and burdened with a plot that confuses mystery with confusion.
The movie stars Madonna, who after Bloodhounds of Broadway, Shanghai Surprise and Who’s That Girl? now nails down her title as the queen of movies that were bad ideas right from the beginning. She plays a kinky dominatrix involved in ingenious and hazardous sex with an aging millionaire who has a bad heart. He dies after an evening’s entertainment, and Madonna is charged with his murder.
Body of Evidence-a Madonna low point!
Body of Evidence is so bad it’s good. The Next Best Thing is just bad. So it’s still not the worst in her filmography. 🙂
