Sliver (BD) [Blu-ray]

DVD was new, as advertised, bubbled wrapped well, and arrived in perfect condition.

Beyond any other movie ever I think Sliver really accurately captures the atmosphere of New York City. With the twin towers always in the distance and the Guggenheim and subway we really feel what it is like to be a book editor making money hand-over-fist in arguably the 15th or 16th best city in the world. William Baldwin props up an otherwise anemic cast in this won. Sharon stone is OK here but she will probably never reach the heights of Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol again. That's the price a movie star pays when they act so well in a particular feature that they become forever association with the role.

I'm sure this movie is not rated well by critics, however, I really liked it and found it interesting, erotic, and that it had very good acting and character development.

I am a big fan of Sharon Stone. released in 1993 and based on the book of the same title. this movie has it all murder mystery and suspense. the cast is amazing. tom Berenger, William Baldwin, the film deals with the subject of voyerism.And the residents living in one of new yorks most prominent apartment buildings keep ending up murdered.the film has a lot of different story's going on between and around the residents of the building it would just take to long to explain the whole movie and i don't want to ruin anything for any one. Give sliver a chance. don't listen to all the negative reviews. you like to watch? don't you?!.

its good

Spoiler:Basically the owner of the building Sharon Stone is living in has cameras in his tenants rooms. The building owner records every thing every one says 24/7. He uses what he knows about his female tenents in order to "get them". I liked the movie and I liked where the movie was going until I reached the end of the movie. Sharon Stone finds out what the building owner is doing after being intimate with him, she destroy's his video equipment. They make it seem like everything is over because the owners equipment is destroyed. Remember. The guy is rich. Realistically the guy could have just bought new equipment and continued doing what he was doing the very next day. Sharon Stones character didn't hint that she was going to move out of the building. The guy doesn't get arrested. They don't hint that she's going to get him arrested. He recorded child abuse and recorded people being murdered in his building and didn't report it to the police. They pretend like Sharon shooting at his equipment and monitors is the end of everything that was taking place.

I have always wanted to watch this movie and the waiting was worth it. I think that the movie is very emotional and Sharon Stone is very talented in the movie.

If you have read Sliver by Ira Levin, don't waste your time watching the movie! The book is a good read but in the movie, the story is almost unrecognizable, large parts of the movie plot make no sense, most of the characters were changed, the ending is ridiculously bad. A total waste of time and an insult to the author.

Tout est parfait aucun avis négatif juste un problème de livraison du colis ( La Poste ).

Es una excelente película, se ve súper bien pero no es la versión extendida, fue una buena compra

In a time when people live on their cell phones & social media, & reality television remains a hot commodity for home entertainment there is no better time to revisit 1993's highly overlooked thriller 'Sliver'. Primarily about voyeurism, 'Sliver' was way ahead of its time in 1993. Combining titilating melodrama, with sex, amazing fashion, beautiful people, voyeurism & murder 'Sliver' offered its audience the full package; the chance to see the daily lives of everyday people (and one killer) via a series of hidden camera's in a Manhattan high-rise. In short, the audience becomes the voyeur.Released in May of 1993, 'Sliver' was Sharon Stone's first picture after her star-making turn in 1992's mega hit 'Basic Instinct'. Paramount agreed to pay the actress $2.5 million dollars to star in their picture after they hired Joe Eszterhas (Flashdance, Basic Instinct) to write the script & chose Australian auteur Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games, Dead Calm) to direct. Initially hesitant to revisit the sexy, thriller genre Stone was talked into committing to the film by Eszterhas & Noyce, with the blessing of legendary movie producer Robert Evans (Chintatown, The Godfather) who agreed to finance the picture. The cast was selected, any everything seemed ready to go. And then ...The drama behind-the-scenes of the 'Sliver' production have become the thing of legend: extensive reshoots, severe cast in-fighting, a completely changed ending, several on-set affairs, horrible test screenings, a major helicopter accident, a frazzled movie producer & an egocentric screenwriter were fast becoming more news worthy than the picture itself. Paramount pictures & director Phillip Noyce would soon discover that Sharon Stone was eager to exert her newfound power, beginning with her order for producer Robert Evans to be banned form the set....and away we go.'Sliver' has become a kind of cinema 'enigma'. Instead of becoming a successful movie with good reviews 'Sliver' instead has become a cautionary tale of 'be careful what you wish for'. Everyone involved in the picture seemed to be at their absolute worst. The more I've read about this troubled production over the years, the more I have come to appreciate the what eventually was released to theatres, and later on vhs, dvd, Blu-Ray. The odd thing about 'Sliver' is, despite the poor reviews and its mediocre box office (over $100 million, worldwide) the film is still entertaining.The Pro's & Con'sSharon Stone has never looked more beautiful than she did in 'Sliver'. Styled to perfection: the chic bob, the immaculate makeup, the classic jewellery & some truly gorgeous clothes, Stone exuded a quiet, soft, feminity her she-demon character in 'Basic Instinct' could never have achieved. Carly Norris was a workaholic, a recent divorcee & Stone played her to perfection. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to movie audiences Stone's performance was horribly shredded with all the major reshoots, scene edits & the constant on-set fighting with her male costar William Baldwin (Stone is alleged to have championed a young Brad Pitt for the male role, but director Noyce preferred Baldwin). Stone apparently bite Baldwin's tongue after he allegedly slipped her the tongue during a kissing scene, later, both actors demanded stand in's for any close-ups. Yikes.Actors Tom Berenger (Jack Landsford) & Polly Walker (Vida Warren) who played supporting roles in the film also balked at reshoot demands where they were alleged to be dressed in S&M gear (both refused). Stone began dating the film's co-producer, Bill McDonald, while his wife ended up dating the screenwriter Joe Eszterhas (eventually marrying him). Stone refused to allow the film's producer Robert Evans on the set, at all, reducing his contribution solely to the films soundtrack & character costume consultations. Yikes.There is a rumoured original workprint cut of the film out there. Maybe one day Paramount will release it? The tagline for the movie was 'You Like To Watch, Don't You?'. In 1993 the answer was both yes, and no. Perhaps now, in an age where people utilize the internet & social media as the basic ways of communication, a film like 'Sliver' can finally be appreciated for what it was ....a voyeuristic, sloppy & entertaining mess of a ride.
