Verity Review: Hathaway and Johnson Have Fun. The Movie Doesn't

There’s just something irresistible about watching characters throw their lives and their sanity away for the chance to sleep with the object of their desires.

Like Basic Instinct, in which detective Nick Curran falls into bed with Catherine Tramell, a crime novelist who might just be describing the murder he’s investigating. It makes no sense, but everyone involved is so committed to their melodramatic vision that it works.

In Gaming, Maria Loreto puts this story at the center of the day: There’s just something irresistible about watching characters throw their lives and their sanity away for the chance to sleep with the object of their desires. FlexChar is surfacing it because it is driving searches and conversation right now.
