the she-devil who opened her legs and showed the whole world the thing in between them in basic instinct 1: no subtitle is back for more mind games, murder and of course hot humping action! This time around, she’s making her shrink’s life a living hell as people get murdered around him like ducks in hunting season. Whodunit? Whocares?
ah yes. basic instinct. the matrix of r-rated movies. the one that our parents didn’t want us to see back then. but we were able to anyways, and so here we are with this sequel of sorts, expecting the same steam. But nah-uh, Sharon stone disappointed me. first of all, the trailer was misleading. I could clearly remember seeing a scene there that involved one lucky sonomabitch double-teamed by two women. a ménage-a-trois. a threesome. i wanted to see its entirety. but satan knows where it went, it is nowhere to be watched and enjoyed perversely in this film. That and probably a hundred other sex scenes that were omitted in the final cut. Darn. Really, it’s basic instinct dude, why else would I watch it?! Okay, there were a couple of screwings but nothing special went on. plus, they featured the old and wrinkling Sharon stone, and a nobody not worth googling for. Not happy. So the movie basically (hehe) fails to deliver what it is notorious for, and the rest just falters with it.
the dialogue was kinda good though, especially the conversations that went on between Sharon stone and the psychiatrist dude, credit will mostly go to the fine acting from both of them. Ms. Stone was mind-fuck mistress all throughout, talking to her in real life would probably have resulted in me slapping her face or my monkey. The old wrinkling lady’s still got it, I guess. The psychiatrist dude was very very… um, psychiatristic, in a slight qui-gon jinn kinda way. But I think the movie would have worked better if Sharon stone was in a lesser role and some new sexy girl was cast in the lead, with sex scenes in 75% of the movie. Make the new lead Jessica Alba and I’d pay triple.
another case of sequel failing to at least equal its predecessor. Basic instinct 1 had fucking right from the opening credits. This one had fingering in a car running at high speed. I don’t know why they made a sequel to a classic and not try to come up with something to make it as memorable as the first. pussies.
the good: the acting.
the bad: too tame, too lame. What a shame.
the ugly: Sharon stone compared to herself in the first one.
the score: 4 big ben lighters.
the skiz.
