Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

fuadkhan2002 In all honesty, I found this sequel to have much more substance and brains than the sleazy original pop cult classic. Where the first Basic Instinct was loud, brash, gaudy and gratuitous, this one is subtle, dark, intellectual, imaginative and cerebral. The plot, storyline, and Sharon Stone herself, have all matured for the better. Gone is the bad 90s psycho nympho girl called Catherine Tramell and in comes the highly intelligent, manipulative, calm and confident older Tramell. She plays a deadly cat and mouse game with her male psychiatrist to the point where he is unable to differentiate between fact and fantasy. Her acting has matured considerably over the years and she exhibits a highly understated, subtle acting style and exudes just the right mix of seduction and threat, the perfect femme fatale. David Morrissey does great with his British accent and sensibility as the psychiatrist contrasted with Michael Douglas' boorish Nick Curran. Stone has maintained her enviable figure over the years and only looks better physically and psychologically to play the role. I highly recommend this movie to all the fans of the erotic thriller genre that was so chic in the 90s.

Python Hyena Basic Instinct 2 (2006): Dir: Michael Caton-Jones / Cast: Sharon Stone, David Morrissey, David Thewlis, Charlotte Rampling, Hugh Dancy: Manipulative and morbid thriller that does pretty much what the original film did and that is mess with one's mind and hormones. It also tells the same bloody story. Sex and murder mystery writer Catherine Tramell is suspected of murder again and David Morrissey plays a police psychiatrist whom is sucked into her mind screw. People die horrible deaths while Tramell is suspected yet not witnessed. The ending is an bigger kick in the ass than the original. Directed by Michael Caton-Jones who previously made another trash film that bares certain similarities in The Jackal. Morrissey is basically reciting Michael Douglas only he seems to get screwed over worse. Sharon Stone as Tramell can still turn on the heat but to a far lesser degree here. She is running the same drill manipulating while sitting pretty when fingers are pointed in her direction. David Thewlis plays an interrogation officer who originally arrests Tramell only to be killed in the overly stupid climax. Charlotte Rampling is unfortunately flat as someone set to take Morrissey off the case. While the original film has its supporters, its twist ending leaves much to be desired. With that said, it is still ahead of the sequel in creativity. This all winds down to a ninety minute mind rape. Score: 2 / 10

SnoopyStyle Murder writer Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone) is living in London. After crashing her car, football star Kevin Franks in the passenger seat is killed. The police finds various drugs in his system and detective Roy Washburn (David Thewlis) is bent on locking her up. Police psychologist Dr. Michael Glass (David Morrissey) interviews her. Adam Towers (Hugh Dancy) is dating his ex-wife Denise Glass (Indira Varma) and wants to write about Tramell. Adam is also threatening to write about a former patient of Glass who killed his pregnant girlfriend. Milena Gardosh (Charlotte Rampling) is Glass's colleague. Glass diagnose Tramell as being addicted to risk, but she is released after a key witness is found to be unreliable.It opens up pretty well. There are great actors around. The police investigation holds good possibilities. Sharon Sone and David Morrissey just don't have enough intensity. His character is too lifeless. I would prefer the movie stay locked with David Thewlis keeping the same dynamics as the original. A police investigation is much more exciting. All the sitting around and talking isn't that compelling. At least the original had Stone crossing her legs and had more fun with the material. This doesn't work as a mystery or as a thriller or anything else. It ends with a very annoying sequence where it becomes really stupid what Glass does.

Armand the basic sin of film is its existence. not because it is a bad movie but because it desires be only a clone of a high success. a film about nothing, using Sharon Stone and few pieces from first part for a confuse story. nothing realistic, nothing interesting. maybe, only the presence of Charlote Rampling. the absence of a good script can be an explanation for its quality. in same measure, the desire to resurrect a too good film universe with poor tools. but the problem is not the acting, story or the not inspired title.but Sharon Stone who gives a formal Catherine . the seduction of original is lost. and Stan Collymore - like a wood statue -, is far to be the best choice for his role.
