8/10
As good as Basic Instinct (One)...
19 April 2006
I'm beginning to wonder if my critical faculties aren't forever lost! This film has been savaged by our local (South African) and foreign critics, but this is one sequel I think is on a par with the original, if not better.

Sharon Stone is mesmerising in the title role. She looks good, acts well as the sociopathic Catherine, and is always interesting. The script is good... and you never really have the "complete" truth, even at the end of the film.

Supporting cast is good, too, with a good Willem Dafoe, Charlotte Rampling and David Morrissey. It's a good film, at times like a film noir, at others like a good psychological mystery.

Don't let adverse publicity affect you badly. See this film.
