Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
As a stand-alone film, this doesn't work; but viewed through the prism of the original, it offers some twisted, self-conscious pleasures.

Stupefyingly lackluster.

rotten:
Like many sequels this is actually a remake, and it suffers from the law of diminishing returns.

rotten:
The plot, already mired in nonsensical backstory, collapses with the late-inning introduction of a tired metafictional device (not to mention a wildly lunging Usual Suspects twist).

rotten:
Basic Instinct 2 has a stylish look and a few sexy moments, but the plot goes from confusing to implausible to absolutely ludicrous in the final sequence.
