That was an excellent one.

Really Surprised!

A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

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

After being mesmerized by Mickey Rourke's performance in 'Angel Heart' last week, I went on a mini shopping spree for some of his movies. '9 1/2 Weeks' was one of the choices.This movie kept me smiling and giggling throughout. It has so much sex appeal (as does Mickey) and the two of them have serious chemistry between each other!If you're looking for a movie with a serious plot line, don't bother with '9 1/2 Weeks.' But if you just want a movie to have fun with and really get your blood pumping, this is the movie for you! And this goes for both women AND men!

Misunderstood Movie that was Anticipated by the Skuttlebutt and Marketing Exploitation and was Received and Reviewed by Uptight Critics and Disappointed/Defensive Audiences. It is an Underrated Art Movie that is an American Film that has a Distinctive European Feel.Americans are Much More Comfortable with Violence than Sex. The U.S.A. Audiences are a bit Squeamish with Sex Scenes and this has a Number of Them. But they are Mostly Fun Filled, Playful, Erotic Displays with a Silky not Sleazy Appeal.This is a Beautiful Film Filled with Backlight Refractions and Penetrating Rays of Artificial and Natural Illuminations. This is Erotica and NOT PORN. Far from it. There is a Good Nature to the "Bad" Behavior as can be Witnessed by the Joy and Laughter from the "Falling in Love" Couple.There is a Downbeat Ending that Many may find Unsatisfying but is True to the Nature of the Female Character. It is a Film about Control and Submission and Their Relationship is Built on that Foundation and while it is Relinquished it is Right, but when the Blindfold is Lifted and the Servitude is No Longer Welcomed the Result is Inevitable.This Sleight of Hand from Director Adrian Lyne is Hypnotic and Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger do Well Managing the Difficult Roles. The Movie is a Visual Treat and is Recommended for those with Curiosity and Concern about how the Sex in a Relationship can be both Emancipating and Heart Breaking.

As 86 R rated flicks went, this was the most successful, and certainly a different kind of movie experience. Beautifully shot with style, the most weirdest, yet engrossing relationship between these two characters from two then hot stars, one of course whose looks have sunk, is truly something to behold. The enigmatic Rourke is way too weird for words, a bored stockbroker, who likes to play manipulative games, with his lovers, some which turn quite nasty. His new love Basinger, an assistant architect, truly bored with her job, like Rourke, just can't get him out of her head, her old lover, with who'm life was normal, but not exciting. Just wait til you see him, andR then you'll understand. Rourke makes the relationship, such a dizzying one, Basinger just can't think straight, so ultimately she has to let herself go. And that's alright for us to do that. Some scenes are so weirded out, one involving Rourke leaving Basinger on a ferris wheel while it's at it's peak and him and the operator go off for a coffee, whatever. One scene that stood out in my mind, okay, apart from the blindfolded one, involving all these condiments and fruits, whatever, was the one where she went out and saw that old artist in the country, an unnecessary yet beautiful scene, beautiful as how Basinger describes this old codger's work. Slave to love, a song I first heard in this, in the montage, was one I grew to love. We also have an adventurous scene with our two being chased by some drunken thugs. This sex drama, is well acted by everyone, a lot of the small players, particularly good, Rourke cool again in this role, as first coming across him in the electric action thriller, Year Of The Dragon, with Basinger, just as good, if a tad less. It's a film you wouldn't expect to be this well acted, especially if a first timer, seeing it today in it's near two hours running time. It's certainly something different, yet the same could of been said for Angel Heart. It's resolution caught me in a bit of downfall as to the expiration of the relationship, which in no way was ever normal anyhow. The film will affect you in many ways, as viewing relationships, or drawing on your own personal ones. Not as explicit as people have been led to believe. Haven't people heard of 1990's follow up, Wild Orchid. Followed by a totally pointless and terrible sequel.

It's interesting how both characters find themselves together, It's pure chance, you can see instantly that John is intrigued by Elizabeth, during the meeting stage you see that she is scared of him, because she doesn't know what to think. During there time together and there sexual games Elizabeth's desires entwine with John's and they head towards a disastrous ending... I was confused about the hooker part though... Was it about control? I don't know but you could see that Elizabeth definitely had enough I was gob-smacked about the ending, shocked really, It was only at the end that John tells Elizabeth about himself but she still leaves, I wanted her to go back so badly and I was stunned when she didn't... As I said wow great performances from both Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke this is definitely one of my favorites left me with a mix of feelings... Wow is all I can say thumbs up to Adrian Lyne for this movie about A women spending 9 1/2 weeks with the perfect stranger... Amazing !.
