Basic Instinct 2

March 31, 2006

Rated: R Runtime: 114 min Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

Basic Instinct 2 started off with promise, we have Sharon Stone driving really fast while a guy sits in the passenger seat pretty much oblivious to what’s going on. She seems to like this as she proceeds to suck on his finger, then moves it somewhere…uhh… south. The car crashes, dude drowns, and she’s in trouble with the law again. This happens in the opening scene so I didn’t just ruin anything for you.

Basic Instinct 2 At this point the movie starts to lose steam rapidly. Go ahead and set your alarm for 30 minutes later. At that point we get our first glimpse of nudity, a hot little number getting freaky but no, it’s not Sharon so go back to sleep. Set the alarm for another 30 minutes ahead when you’ll finally get to see one of Sharon’s breasts. Yeah, just one for now.

You’ll want to catnap for the next 15 minutes or so until she comes back on screen getting freaky herself where you’ll see the rack and some backside. Then go back to sleep for another 15. At that point pay attention cause you’ll get a good shot of Sharon in a hottub and man o man does she look good for her age.

You’re only gonna see her rack though so don’t get too excited.

What? This review too one dimensional for you? Yeah, like you shelled out money for the plot. My job is to warn you to stay away from this movie. It’s boring and the level of nudity and sex appeal is nowhere near what was promised by the trailers. The plot tries way too hard to keep you guessing and becomes annoying after the first few scenes.

I almost gave this movie 2 stars just because there was some skin in it, and there is actually a twist at the end that I didn’t completely see coming. However, there has to be an unrated directors cut DVD being readied for store shelves this summer so I highly recommend that you pass on spending any money at this time. Just hold out a little longer and maybe there will be enough skin on the DVD to justify that second star.

Won’t take long to find out once it’s released as there’s no way I’m sitting all the way through this crap again. The FF button will be my friend.
