directed by Michael Caton-Jones
I guess I will surprise some of you by writing about this film, but I find it incredibly pleasant to have a different opinion that the majority. Today, I’d like to recommend you the second part of “Basic Instinct”, which was made in 2006 and directed by a different director, but the main star stayed the same – Sharon Stone, beautiful as always. If you check this part on the Internet, you’ll notice it’s got quite bad ratings, especially comparing to the first part. And, to be honest, I even wanted to skip watching this part. Yet, something has told me that it’d be worth trying. In case, I’d stop watching after 30 minutes. How surprised I was when I finished the film and liked it. In this part, Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone) murders another famous person, this time it’s a football player. I guess no rockman was available for killing that night. Anyway, the story repeats, so she’s the main suspect, but this time she doesn’t flirt with the detective. This time, she needs to take part in a therapy led by Dr. Michael Glass (David Morrissey). I’m sorry to be a bit shallow here, but he’s a much better choice of a guy such attractive murderer would fall for, but nevermind. So as you can guess, Catherine starts her flirting game one more time. Some people say it’s a horrible copy of the first part, some say it’s a horrible sequel. But, to be honest, I watched this film as if it was a separate production. I tried not to compare it to the previous one and I think it’s a decent erotic thriller. There are some cringy moments, but generally, I had fun watching it. Even the ending didn’t disappoint me that much. So if you’re wondering whether to see it or not – do it. If you like it, you’ll be a film outsider like me, but you definitely won’t be alone. Feel empowered.
My rating: 6/10
