solun-1 Tonight, I watched the Basic Instinct and Basic Instinct 2 right after it. Both for the very first time.The first one got me excited as the actors were great and the story pretty cool. A great crime movie. I knew about the bad reputation the second installment has and expected a flop. But I did not get one. I got a movie full of honestly great actors, great environments and a great plot. The camera, sound, music, editing, actors, suspense... Everything is on top. I loved the movie and frankly have no idea why it is rated bad and why was it nominated for razzie awards. I guess you have to have a black sheep every year to point a finger at and unfortunately for the Basic Instinct 2 this movie was that black sheep in 2006.I rated Basic Instinct 9/10 because I was really entertained and I am rating the second one also 9/10 because I was entertained as well and even a bit more because the movie is more current to me as it was shot in 2006 and I am a younger person. Hats off to the makers of this movie and the actors. Highly recommended to anyone interested in crime movies or thrillers.

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

Romeo Garcia When you don't have the original protagonist,director,writer,producer and score maestro you know that the movie is going to sucks (to say least) and thats exactly what this movie is SUCKS!.You can't see that this movie was made because the huge ego of Sharon Stone simple like that.At least a couple of this kind of movies came out in the lapse of this movie and the original (14 years)and some of them was very good.But in the case of this movie this is not case Don't get me wrong the movie have a great cast (David Thewlis,Charlotte Rampling,David Morrisey)the simply don't have any surprises and in the begging of the second act you can guess how is going to end.Don't waste you time they are a lot of better thrillers out there the only thing you gonna see is the decline of a great actress and a movie made it because of she ego.

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.
