She is able to act sexy (with the support of very good directors)

good read, and well written with detailed support for your argument. I think you should clarify, you are talking about athouse thrillers

Thank you! But "Obssessed" is a PG-13 film without strong sex and nudity. If "Obssessed" is a sex thriller, so is "Transformers 3" :p

I think sex thrillers (which really have nude sex scenes) have very little mainstream box office appeal, no matter how well-made they are

i agree, but i think people on the boards are thinking mainstream, and you and I are thinking arthouse. Its been awhile since Basic Instinct

If we talk about mainstream, then I think "I Walk With the Dead" will only get limited release at best, not matter who star in it.

Sex thrillers rarely became mainstream box office successes in US. "Basic Instinct" and "Unfaithful" were the exceptions, not the norm.

I was distracted during Wall Street 2 because Mulligan looked so much like my college girlfriend.
