About Body of Evidence

When an elderly millionaire is found dead with cocaine in his system, his will leaves $8 million to Rebecca Carlson, who was having an affair with him. District attorney Robert Garrett decides to prosecute Rebecca, arguing that she deliberately engaged in wild sex with the old man to overexcite him and lead to his premature death. Defense attorney Frank Dulaney defends Rebecca in court while getting sucked into a dangerous affair with her.

90s trash for sure and on the lesser end of the erotic thrillers of that era, but still a bit of fun (some unintentional). Madonna might have had a great bod but her acting stunk, though the others like Willem Dafoe and Joe Mantegna seemed to do okay at least. Like Jade (which came out in 1995) or Sliver (came out the same year as this), even if watchable, nothing terribly memorable. Basic Instinct still remains the best followed by Wild Things and Disclosure. Still, worse ways to spend 100-minutes...
