Cannot understand why so many people slate this movie. Sure it´s not as good as the original but as a thriller it´s pretty good. Generally a good story with lots of twists and turns and the acting is fine. We have watched it four times to date and we will watch it again in the future.

it is very easy and funny and cool to criticize this film. first support - the comparison with the original. than - the expectations. too high. in fact, it is a mistake to make a second part . but this mistake could be reduced if you ignore the original as standard. if you do, you have a thriller. not great but decent. chaotic and predictable but the presence of Sharon Stone and Charlotte Rampling are a reasonable compensation. so, it is an error to define it as trash. it is a decent thriller, not the best but far to be the worst, it is not Paul Verhoeven but a nice try to recreate his universe. so, Basic Instinct 2. and this is all.

When you don't have the original protagonist,director,writer,producer and score maestro you know that the movie is going to sucks (to say least) and thats exactly what this movie is SUCKS!.You can't see that this movie was made because the huge ego of Sharon Stone simple like that.At least a couple of this kind of movies came out in the lapse of this movie and the original (14 years)and some of them was very good.But in the case of this movie this is not case Don't get me wrong the movie have a great cast (David Thewlis,Charlotte Rampling,David Morrisey)the simply don't have any surprises and in the begging of the second act you can guess how is going to end.Don't waste you time they are a lot of better thrillers out there the only thing you gonna see is the decline of a great actress and a movie made it because of she ego.

I didn't expect much from this movie given the reviews. A rating of 4 doesn't help my expectations however IMDb-ratings haven't got a reputation of being accurate all the time. The first let's say half hour didn't do much for me, but the rest of the movie was OK. OK, Sharon Stone is older now. I didn't see that one coming... . Acting was good, the story was good , kept me interested until the end. Conclusion must be this movie suffers from it being a sequel. When you aren't bothered by that it's a worthwhile watch. When you want to see the young and beautiful Sharon watch part 1. For the mature and still beautiful one watch this. For a nice movie you can safely watch both although the first is better.
