Extras consist of audio commentary by director Michael Caton-Jones (or Michael Canton-Jones, as itвЂ™s curiously spelled thrice on the back cover) a behind-the-scenes featurette deleted scenes an alternate ending and the theatrical trailer. The new Blu-ray edition contains both the theatrical cut and an unrated version that runs an additional two minutes. In short, this movieвЂ™s about as erotic as the dry heaves. ThereвЂ™s plenty of raunchy sex talk, but the only thing truly shocking about Basic Instinct 2 is that its two-hour span feels like 20. This needless sequel - badly photographed, flatly directed, indifferently acted, wretchedly scripted - finds Catherine mentally sparring with a psychiatrist (David Morrissey) sheвЂ™s planning to both screw and screw over. In Basic Instinct 2, Stone is simply awful, replacing the sexy insouciance from the first film with a beady stare that would seem more appropriate coming from a dead codfish than a calculating nympho adept at playing twisted mind games. But what Hollywood giveth, Hollywood taketh away, meaning that the role that initially made her an A-lister later was the same role that effectively killed her free-falling career. After earning notice for her supporting stint in Paul VerhoevenвЂ™s 1990 sci-fi flick Total Recall, Sharon Stone found herself delivering a star-making performance as the icepick-wielding author Catherine Tramell in VerhoevenвЂ™s 1992 smash hit Basic Instinct.
