What to Know

Critics Consensus

Sliver is an absurd erotic thriller with technobabble and posits prime Sharon Stone as a professional book nerd.

Michael Sragow New Yorker Sharon 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. Jun 12, 2013 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 1/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media The cast may have been high-profile, but Sliver is no great work of art. Jan 10, 2024 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant Bogged 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. May 30, 2018 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a slow-moving erotic thriller that nevertheless remains relatively watchable for the duration of its runtime...

Erica S I managed to watch the entire film but it never quite got to climax and most of the story line seemed a bit all over the place. The ending by far out of any movie I’ve seen was not good. ‘Get a life’…. What?!? Read that they reshot that part so assumed that they couldn’t figure out how to wrap up the movie and so the beginning really doesn’t match the end and fell horribly flat. I will not watch this movie again and whoever gave it 4 stars on Amazon prime is nuts. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review David F This erotic thriller set in a Manhattan skyscraper is a little bit titillating but mostly over-the-top dross. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review StephenPaul C The worst 01 hour: and 46 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/23 Full Review Marc V Sliver is not exactly "intellectually" forced. It's full of unappealing characters played by actors that are usually able to uplift lackluster scripts and films. Screenplay was written by Joe Eszterhas and Ira Levin, who I assume thought that Sharon Stone's sex appeal would be enough to keep viewers glued to the screen. BASIC INSTINCT it ain't. The mystery is easy to figure out and both Baldwin and Berenger creep it up so much you want them both to get killed off. I'll say SLIVER is the worst rom-com of the 1990's, and that's hard to do. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review michael d Hahahahahahahahahaha. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Veramente difficile provare a spiegare come, a distanza di un anno da Basic Instinct, a qualcuno sia venuto in mente di costruire un film incentrato sulla brutta copia di quel personaggio, interpretato per giunta dalla stessa attrice. Si dà luogo ad una serie di improbabili e poco riuscite sequenze di sesso, alcune veramente terribili per fattura, contorniate da un supporting cast di pessimo livello e da una trama sovrastata in ogni fase da questo pessimo tentativo di creare qualcosa di erotico. Peccato perchè alla fine dei conti, una trama con l'eliminazione mano a mano dei personaggi, non sarebbe stata male. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
