Nigel Floyd
As a stand-alone film, this doesn't work; but viewed through the prism of the original, it offers some twisted, self-conscious pleasures.
David Edelstein
Stupefyingly lackluster.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Like many sequels this is actually a remake, and it suffers from the law of diminishing returns.
Dennis Lim
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).
Richard Roeper
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.
Peter Howell
Even the ice pick looks like it really doesn't want to be there.

Claudia Puig
The 1992 phenomenon was creepy, tense and sexually charged in a bold yet tawdry way. This sequel lacks even a shred of those elements.
