Better, perhaps, than Basic Instict, and criminally underrated, this movie is not only an excellent thriller that grabs you from start to finish in its web, but also a very accurate look at psychoanalytists' matters - and practices- that I can not think of any other movie to match, with a sarcastic tone that can easily be overlooked. Overall, one of the best neo- noirs one can meet. The critics butchered the film; they ' d better go watch Vertigo again and explain why it's better.
