Suggested correction: That's exactly how her reflection, in reference to the police light, would look in the rear-view mirror with the way he positioned the mirror.

Continuity mistake: During the big sex scene you see red marks on Michael Douglas's back. These red marks are from when Sharon Stone scratches him. The thing is, she scratches him a minute AFTER you see the red marks on him for the first time.

Answer: She is portrayed as a psychopath with an uncontrollable urge to kill.

I wouldn't say that she had an "urge" to kill. Rather, she was willing to "dispose" of people by killing them. She would kill people who were in her way or were no longer interesting/useful.
