Movie Reviews of Basic Instinct 2 (Unrated, Extended Cut)
Movie Review: It's not easy to take your eyes off Stone...
Summary: 3 Stars
In Michael Caton-Jones' "Basic Instinct 2," Sharon Stone tries desperately to prove she is still sexy and dangerous... To each uncrossing of legs, she supplies every type of attraction... And yes, she does get naked, but not as naked as before... teasing us only with a glimpse of her nethers... In every step of the way, every line of dialog, every gesture, makes her look absolutely stunning, even better than she did in the original erotic thriller back in 1992...
Stone returns as novelist Catherine Tramell whose bestselling books match her deadly reality so perfectly making us wonder... This time the action moves from San Francisco to London, where she attracts the attention of the Scotland Yard... Soon a celebrated psychologist named Michael Glass is caught between her seductive powers... Glass knows all about homicidal impulse and identifies Catherine as having "risk addiction." But when the people surrounding him start falling in graphic ways, Glass starts jeopardizing his profession to keep at distance the siren's notorious advances...
With his soft brown eyes, bland haircut, and prominent chin, Morrissey's Dr. Glass is no match for a sultry, sexy and smart vixen like Sharon Stone... Stone completely embodies every aspect of Catherine's physical attribute, manipulating the hell out of the freshly divorced psychiatrist... Dr. Milena Gardosh (Charlotte Rampling) recognizes Glass is falling for Catherine and advises him to remove himself as her therapist...
Stone seems to be a strong figure only composed of "capital sins." She is daring and shameless in her teasing, temptations and commands... She never shows any remorse, and remains, one more time, one of the classic femme fatales...
"Basic Instinct 2" is hardly unwatchable, because Stone is very winding, puzzling and intensely fascinating in the way she puts out of side issues through dialog that seems foolishly open and penetrating...
Summary of Basic Instinct 2 (Unrated, Extended Cut)
Notorious crime novelist catherine tramnell is back & shes criminal psychologist dr michael glass deadliest challenge. With professional boundaries blurred by obsession dr glass is lured into a murderous web of lies & deceit & begins a torrid affair with tramell that takes him to the point of no return. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 09/25/2007 Starring: Sharon Stone David Morrissey Run time: 117 minutes Rating: UrDespite 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
