Basic Instinct 2


The followup to the box-office succes of 1992 delivers more of the same. This time, the action switches to England, where our femme fatale is being investigated by a psychiatrist to see if she was capable of committing murder. Naturally it's not long before he falls for her wiles and finds his life spiralling out of control... At the time of writing, the movie comes in at number 66 on the IMDB's list of 100 worst movies, and the critics were not impressed either...

113 minutes.
