The story of a cop investigating a murder, who then begins a relationship with the top suspect. It's that simple.

Actresses:
Sharon Stone & Leilani Sarelle


The first scene has the cop going to Stone's house alone to ask a few questions. At the end of the questioning, Sarelle walks down the stairs and her and Stone kiss as the cop walks off.

Actresses:
Unknowns


There is a quick shot of two butch women in the bathroom playing some tongue hockey.

Actresses:
Sharon Stone & Leilani Sarelle


The cop walks past the girls "playing tongue hockey" trying to find Stone and sees her walk into a toilet cubicle. She steps over the seated and fully clothed Sarelle and sits on her knees and they touch each other. There is another man in the cubicle to the side. Stone closes the door as the cop approaches them.

Actresses:
Sharon Stone & Leilani Sarelle


Then back in the disco, Stone and Sarelle are dancing together. There is lots of staring into eyes then a very soft kiss. They then dance together some more, Sarelle behind Stone rubbing her breasts. Stone then walks off to join the cop but there is still a lot of eye contact between the girls, Sarelle is obviously jealous and admits to it the next morning.

Ah, the movie that made Sharon Stone well-known, in more ways than one. Decent movie that could have been much better, but also had plenty of opportunities to be much worse. A couple of out-of-nowhere twists and turns, and you're at the end without much story to latch onto. It was a rather nice kiss in the first scene, but way too brief.


e_mcg:
An interesting lesbian sub plot, although there are only two kisses between the girls a whole lot more is implied, and Stone even asks the cop if he wants a threesome. As well as this, Stone talks about a girl she made love with in college as if its no big deal and something she did regularly. Shame its only words though.
