Sliver [DVD]

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

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?!.

Not a great movie but enjoyed it. I consider it a one watch movie with an okay story line. Worth a look.

its good

Kind of creepy in an uncomfortable voyer victim kind of way. Still fun and worth the watch...

It was mostly about steamy sex and people getting murdered. Every day life for some people. Tom Berenger was an oaf in this movie. Sharon Stone looked young and fresh. It had one of the Baldwin boys, the one less successful later in his career. All actors fresh nuggets. It was almost a who dunit type of thriller movie. Back then it would have kept you on the edge of your seat. Today, it almost makes you feel nostalgic for the dated days when even when people were getting murdered on a weekly basis, life was still simple.

I love Sharon Stone. I understand how she got "type casted" but the woman is incredible at convincing me that her character is real and I love them all, all characters she plays. I believe her acting and I always root for her characters even when she is the "bad guy". Just love her.

Good story

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

Ganz schlechte Bildqualität - sorry, aber ist wirklich so.... :o(

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.
