'Basic Instinct 2' (2006) – Michael Caton-Jones.

Call me a kinky ne'er-do-well, but I'd rather watch a slinky-sexy sociopathic seductress like, Catherine Tramell sordidly shag her victims to death than some sexless scrote in a Hockey Mask!!! The belated return of the murderously manipulative man-eater entertainingly remains a glossily prurient, terrifically trashy treat! David Morrissey, Charlotte Rampling & David Thewlis are credible, and play it straight, but, thrillingly, the dazzlingly vulpine, Sharon Stone voraciously masticates the scenery like some cadaver-craving Hagfish, thereby making 'Basic Instinct 2' way more fun to watch than it has any real right to be! 

Actively opposing, Pat Benetar's earnest plea, the hyperbolically hedonistic novelist, Catherine Tramell has unrepentantly weaponized her sex in order to satiate her psychotically permissive peccadilloes! While the film's thunderous climax is momentarily satisfying, some more sensitive viewers might well feel a trifle soiled afterwards!!!! Frankly, I'd happily watch a sequel to a mediocre film, than a remake of a good one, and i'll joyfully take a lurid thriller over some lachrymose, cause-of-the-week dirge, and while I appreciate that my base enjoyment of 'Basic Instinct 2' will appear baffling, Caton-Jones is a competent filmmaker, and this saucy, slickly fashioned, oft derided sequel is certainly not without some amusingly salacious incident!
