While he may be marginally better at directing kinky sex scenes than Instinct's Paul Verhoeven, [Edel is] stuck with a fairly ho-hum script by Brad Mirman.

A courtroom drama built around the charge that Madonna's body is a deadly weapon with which she 'fornicated' a man to death, this showcase for the singer-thesp as femme fatale is more silly than erotic.
Variety Staff, Variety
Rotten
A sluggish courtroom melodrama relieved only by unintenional laughter.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Rotten
A bland, utterly silly, curiously provincial courtroom drama.
