Basic Instinct 2 (Uncut, DVD) ... David Morrissey ... / DVD released 07 August, 2006 at Entertainment in Video / Features of the DVD: PAL / Despite its inevitable fate as a critically reviled box-office flop, Basic Instinct 2 sure has a funny way of holding your attention. It's not just Sharon Stone's trash-talk and occasional nudity that keeps you watching, but also the way she gamely earns every cent of her $14 million paycheck, vamping like a real pro in her second outing as mystery novelist and alleged serial killer Catherine Tramell. Now living in London, Catherine sets her lethal sights on Michael Glass (David Morrissey), the control-freak psychiatrist assigned to evaluate her as a risk-addicted suspect in the "accidental" killing of a star soccer player. Turns out Catherine's just getting started (or is she?), and that's bad news for Glass's ex-wife, a tabloid journalist, and the Scotland Yard detective (David Thewlis) who's desperate to put Catherine in jail. With plenty of sex, murder and salacious dialogue, BI2 is certainly never boring, especially with the morbid fascination of seeing the once formidable Stone torpedo her career in a sequel that took 14 years (and countless drafts of screenplays and at least one high-profile lawsuit) to bring to the screen. She's still impressively hot at age 47, prompting critic Roger Ebert to observe, "the Catherine Tramell role cannot be played well, but Sharon Stone can play it badly better than any other actress alive." So, while this ill-fated sequel falls just short of being a guilty pleasure (if only because Morrissey is no match for Michael Douglas in the 1992 original), it's enjoyably absurd and slickly produced, and the hot-tub scene is guaranteed to wear out the freeze-frame function on a lot of DVD players. For some viewers, that's reason enough for multiple viewings.-- Jeff Shannon

 ... by the police on a possible drug charge, she's forced to go under psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Michael Glass (David Morrissey), who, much like Michael Douglas's poilice officer character in the first film, she manages to wrap around her little finger and essentially carry in her thrawl as she prepares to go on another torrent of murder and mayhem. Despite rumours that Stone had let herself go, or that she was simply too old for the role, she actually is the least of things to worry about here. The problem is that...more

Crowned Review Basic Instinct 2 (Uncut, DVD): Basic Instinctive Nonsense (1184 words)
by - written on 23/09/09 (Very useful, 91 readings)
Rating:

Best selling crime/erotica author Catherine Trammel (Sharon Stone), originally from San Francisco but now living in London is interrogated by the police after a tragic accident leaves her car in the bottom of the sea with her male passenger dead. Trammel wants to prove her innocence but as a previous murder suspect this isn't going to be easy. She is forced to be evaluated by experienced psychiatrist Dr Michael Glass (David Morrissey) however it's clear right from the start that he's not going to have an easy task on his hands. With Trammels blatant sex appeal and manipulative ways it's not long before he finds himself enamoured by her however when people ...  Read the complete review

The first Basic Instinct was a sexy, smart, and slick thriller that was released in 1992, making a star out of gorgeous lead Sharon Stone. Paired with brilliant performer Michael Douglas, they made one of the best erotic thrillers of all time, although sadly the genre has fallen into disrepute in recent years, and the hugely awaited sequel, Basic Instinct 2, just couldn't cut it in the modern cinematic world. The film has Stone returning as Catherine Tramell, and when she's hauled in by the police on a possible drug charge, she's forced to go under psychiatric evaluation with Dr. Michael Glass (David Morrissey), who, much like Michael Douglas's poilice officer ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Basic Instinct 2 (Uncut, DVD): Basically, not very good (769 words)

**This is a film only review* Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction is unsurprisingly the sequel to Basic Instinct, the notorious Paul Verhoven thriller from 1992. In the original, best selling erotic crime novelist Catherine Trammell was being investigated for the murder of one of her many partners which may or may not have been signposted by one her novels. The policeman investigating her becomes destructively drawn to her and the two of them begin an explicit, intense and possibly deadly affair. This time (and with only Stone from the original film returning), Trammell is now living in London and once again being investigate in connection with the ...  Read the complete review

This film is just...i don't know what it is. It's...confusing...yes, confusing...normally i'd enjoy a cleverly written film with twists and turns and unexpected things but the only unexpected thing i encountered was the lack of an ending...and no, i wasn't asleep, i was very much awake... I havn't seen the original Basic Instinct and i don't know if this one is made easier to understand if you have but i genuingly just think Basic Instinct 2 is a muddle. It really is, i can't even explain what goes on as i don't know. No other film as ever done this to me, i mean, i even got Donnie Darko! I can guarantee if that confused you this is going to kill you at least ...  Read the complete review
