Consensus: One of the least-anticipated sequels of recent years, Basic Instinct 2 is a movie that falls squarely into so-bad-it's-good territory -- or perhaps, so-bad-it's-still-pretty-bad. Fourteen years after wielding an icepick to memorable effect, trashy crime novelist Catherine Tramell is back to wreck havoc on mesmerized guys -- to much diminished returns. Only the sheer ludicrousness of the plot keeps this one from being a total washout.
Theatrical Release: Mar 31, 2006 Wide
Box Office: $5,851,188

Reviews for Basic Instinct 2
Top Critic The signposts signalling the film's raunchy direction are clear, and Stone (looking fabulously sultry in true Hollywood style) slips in and out of her clothes with disarming fervour ... sequel tries to turn up the heat, but never reaches boiling point.

Top Critic jedan od rijetkih primjera kada je publika pokazala kako, za razliku od Hollywooda, ipak ima pojma o nekim stvarima

Sadly, nothing following lives up to the prurient promise of this sequence, as the film becomes a monotonously talky, gloomy affair.
03/01/07
Poor Sharon Stone. She's still big; it's the erotic thrillers that got small.
01/27/07
Top Critic ...a script that is so full of cliche's that I actually knew the end of the film 10 minutes before it ended.

This is psychoanalytic fable rewritten as pulp fiction. Perhaps that's why it's so ludicrously entertaining.
09/28/06
As a stand-alone film, this doesn’t work; but viewed through the prism of the original, it offers some twisted, self-conscious pleasures.
06/24/06
I won't say I didn't enjoy it; this is the kind of film that begs to be talked back to, that satisfies our highly developed taste for schadenfreude.

Michael Caton-Jones directs with bland disinterest, but Stone hams it up with the campy relish of a drag queen doing Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest.
05/12/06
With her raunchy innuendo and near-parodic sexuality, Stone seems to be coming on as the Mae West of film noir.
05/06/06
A pale shadow that is imminently unworthy of even a raised heartbeat.
05/06/06
Top Critic Morrissey's performance is much better than the film really deserves - he pulls off a complex blend of pride and barely suppressed rage whilst still remaining sympathetic.
05/06/06
It’s left to David Thewlis as a know-it-all cynical cop to walk away with the whole film. He brings a mischievousness and wit to a movie sorely lacking in both and offers a fine example of what this sequel should have been.
