i think if your a fan of sharon stone or the first movie, then this is a decent way to spend a night..its got sex, lies, drugs, murder and twists... call me crazy but i was entertained on a 'mindless fun' sort of level
FYC- actor,supporting actor,supporting actress,director & BEST PICTURE- BLOOD DIAMOND
Ohohoh... I did fall asleep in the middle part. The sex scenes are disgusting and disturbing (particularly in the part of the red light district) and not as sexually attractive than those in BI1. The people are less charming, including Sharon Stone. Michael is much more stupid than Michael Douglas in BI1. Even the plot is less attractive - in BI1 you still have some room for imagination that Catherine might not be the killer, given the veil of secrecy surronding the plot. But this time you're damn sure that Catherine is the one who kills, and pretty nastily. Only the psychologist can be fooled by Catherine - I wonder where he's got all the psychology training and is so easily seduced by a woman who's getting so old and has had so much sex with other men. And... most unforgivable of all is that the woman had sex with the reporter Adam, and the disgusting man in the red light district. Bad Taste and an woman as attractive as so is she described should not have sex with those ugly men. I'm speechless when somebody says that this is a good film.
see that's the thing, isn't it?;) she is 15 years older and not so attractive (and the fans of the 1st movie couldn't see her ***** this time), it seems to be one on the main topics (as anyone could get any younger)... I admit M.Douglas is a better actor (but his caracter also got seduced by the same woman who had sex with other men), as for the plot several people still got themselves confused over the ending
Speed 2 was much worse than Speed, too- so I would not beat myself up because of it
I have only a few comments to make about this TRULY AWFUL film:
1. The guy who plays the psychologist reminds me very much of Liam Neeson. 2. Sharon Stone has ruined her natural beauty with all of her plastic surgery. Her eyes looked freaky on times and in a certain light one half of her face looked a lot older than the other half. 3. Less than an hour of this film has elapsed on my dvd player and I'm very close to turning it off. There's not plot and I couldn't give a damn about any of the characters. This is not a patch on BI1. What a load of tosh!
I liked it better than the first one actually (which was a good film in its own right). This one had more Catherine. The first didn't have quite enough Catherine (too much Nick story). Stone was great and the film isn't as sensational as the first - you really have to think about who did it.
