His secretary claims this is so, and the police... An elderly millionaire is found dead in his bedroom, the apparent victim of a heart attack. But the wealthy septuagenarian may have been murdered. His secretary claims this is so, and the police investigation uncovers evidence pointing to the dead man's kinky sexual affair with gallery owner Rebecca Carlson -- a woman who stands to inherit $8 million dollars from the deceased's estate. The District Attorney's office charges Rebecca with murder. The weapon: her own deadly body. Hot-shot Portland defense lawyer Frank Dulaney decides to defend Ms. Carlson, and he's convinced of her innocence, at first. But soon he and Rebecca are sharing handcuffs, dripping hot candle wax on each other's bodies and having sex on car rooftops. His mind clouded by lust, Dulaney continues to believe that Rebecca is innocent of all charges -- until he finds his faith in the fatal temptress shaken by a startling courtroom revelation. [More]

Madonna may have the body, but there's no evidence she can act with it.

The biggest disappointment lies in Uli Edel.

One of the very worst Madonna efforts ... and there are so many to choose from!

The most enjoyably awful of Madonna's awful movies.

Director Uli Edel concentrates on the sleaze when he should be helping Madonna act.

This is the kind of poor effort that's difficult to forgive.

You know how sometimes something can be so bad that it's almost good? Well, that's more or less the case here, with stress on the word “less.”

A bland, utterly silly, curiously provincial courtroom drama.

I've seen comedies with fewer laughs than Body of Evidence, and this is a movie that isn't even trying to be funny.
