Man sees woman. Woman sees man. Instant sexual attraction. Man likes to play head games and control the woman.
Woman likes it to a point.
Dated, redundant, yet still somewhat interesting sexual drama that pits the young, good looking Mickey Rourke against the young and even prettier Kim Basinger. The film rolls by without much emotion, tension or resolution, but does feature a solid performance by Mickey and some of the most graphic sex scenes between two stars in a Hollywood picture. Overall, the film's plot is jammed with sex, some small talk about sex, kinky sex, some sadomasochistic undertones with a touch of control and misogyny, and even kinkier sex. If you're into any of that stuff, cheezy '80's soundtracks, Mickey Rourke's younger days, or even Kim Basinger's rack, I suggest you walk into your local video store and lease this Johnson for an evening. Either way, Adrian Lyne's still a perv.
