Basic Instinct 2 (2006)
BOMB (out of 4)
Sharon Stone is back, this time she's being questioned by a psychologist on whether or not she's a murderer. If you've followed this thread the past two years you'd see that I try and track down back movies from all the previous decades. I'm quite sure that one hundred years from now there'll be another weirdo doing the exact same thing and this movie here will be some sort of holy grail. I was expecting a bad movie but good Lord was this thing horrid. I'd say this film should have gone straight to DVD but that would be an insult to those films that do go straight to DVD. Stone, at best, is a fair to poor actress who can do good work if she's with a great director. Here she gives one of the worst performances I can think of coming from someone with an Oscar nod. She's so incredibly bad that you can't even laugh at her performance. Morrissey is also quite dull and whenever he's on screen I couldn't help but want to take a nap. Even the sex scenes are quite dull, although I've heard that some of them were trimmed for the theatrical release. Most depressing is that this crap is from director Michael Caton Jones who previously gave some good films like Rob Roy and This Boys Life.
