What to Know

Critics Consensus

Unable to match the suspense and titilation of its predecessor, Basic Instinct 2 boasts a plot so ludicrous and predictable it borders on "so-bad-it's-good."

Nigel Andrews Financial Times Morrissey gives a good impersonation of a lobotomised Liam Neeson: possibly the only way to play a character dead from the script upwards. Rated: 1/5 Oct 7, 2018 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Poor Sharon Stone. She's still big; it's the erotic thrillers that got small. Rated: 1/5 Jan 27, 2007 Full Review Linda Ruth Williams Sight & Sound This is psychoanalytic fable rewritten as pulp fiction. Perhaps that's why it's so ludicrously entertaining. Sep 28, 2006 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...settles for a downgraded remake of the first film... Rated: 1/5 Jul 29, 2021 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Stone appears to have torn a page from the soap-opera textbook of come-hither acting. Rated: .5/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting Glass is clearly meant to be a morally gray doctor...but that ambiguity and Morrissey's lack of sexual chemistry with Stone (who is vacant in her second go at the character) simply drains the life from this whole enterprise.

Audience Member Absolute and pure dogshit... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Julian S BASIC INSTINCT 2 isn’t as bad as they say, but it’s nothing to defend. The gloomy English backdrop suits a script that stumbles from start to finish. Still, Stone owns every scene—almost by force of will. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom, o filme tem o roteiro igual aí primeiro filme de 1992, a única coisa que muda, no filme é o local onde a Catarina tramell está que é em Londres, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Sylvie P One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Not sure why I kept watching... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Marek D Just watched it because of Sharon Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review donnie m sharon stone is a horrible actress-she should just do porn Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
