Sharon Stone returns in raunchy "Basic Instinct 2" Apr 19, 2006

Aging 'Instinct' needs Viagra Apr 8, 2006
Things might have gone to hell even faster -- and bored movie goers will likely wish they had -- if not for trusty lascivious officer Washburn, played by David Thewlis (Professor Lupin, of the Harry Potter series). Washburn gives Glass a reason to make his "confusion" face and forces a tiresome back and forth of the good doctor's allegiances -- a dilemma that monopolizes more than half the movie and is only settled in a fairly arbitrary rain of gunfire in the last five minutes. (Yale Daily News, CT)
Getting Away with Murder Apr 6, 2006
Scotland Yard detective Roy Washburn (David Thewlis) is eager to nail her possibly in both senses of the word but the court demands a psychiatric examination ... With Sharon Stone, David Morrissey, Charlotte Rampling, and David Thewlis. (LA City Beat)
EW review: 'Basic Instinct 2,' good fun 0 Apr 4, 2006
As Glass, echoing the original film, tries to clear up a scandal from his past, Charlotte Rampling, as his analyst mentor, and David Thewlis, as a cop who may or may not be a scoundrel, add color, but what "Basic Instinct 2" lacks, apart from a line quite as laughable as the original's ''You're dealing with a devious, diabolical mind,'' is a sexual tension brazen enough to justify the mounting preposterousness of the twists. It's a treat to see Stone rev her evil-vixen engine again, but apart... (CNN -- Showbiz)
At the Movies: `Basic Instinct 2' Mar 31, 2006
Bodies pile up as Catherine messes with the heads of Glass and the people around him, including his mentor (Charlotte Rampling, squandered in a throwaway role) and a Scotland Yard detective (David Thewlis, who manages to flesh out a dry part with quirky humor that often makes him the most interesting presence on screen). Other than some substantive roles on British television, Morrissey has been a bit actor or supporting player at best in such films as "Captain Corelli's Mandolin'' and "Hilary... (Malaysia Star)

(MSNBC -- Movies)
"Basic" flaw -- an unsexy erotic thriller Mar 31, 2006
Dialogue often is hilarious -- "Even the truth is a lie with her!" shrieks David Thewlis' police detective about Tramell -- the sexual roundelays put soap operas to shame, and the solution to all the murders is offered up without a shred of credibility. If any of this takes, then a decent worldwide gross is possible for "Instinct 2.". (Reuters)

Stone and 'Basic Instinct 2' are more silly than steamy Mar 31, 2006
Michael Douglas's Detective Nick Curran from ''Basic Instinct" would have wiped his shoes with him. Over the course of the movie, Catherine takes the starch out of Glass's upper lip and reduces him to a puddle of proper British lust, but, like David Ortiz facing a softball pitcher, these two just aren't in the same league.Catherine seems to have much more fun getting to know everyone in the doctor's orbit and lurking suspiciously nearby when they turn up dead. Potential victims include Glass's... (Boston Globe)
'Basic Instinct 2' Not a Trainwreck Mar 30, 2006
To help class up the picture, Caton-Jones has hired some top-tier English talent, such as Charlotte Rampling (as Glass's colleague) and David Thewlis (as a possibly dirty cop), to help navigate this tricky screenplay. The cast is ready to sink into the dark waters of Tramell's world, and they make even the most iffy of script turns feel acceptable, if not entirely believable. (OhmyNews International)

Rapturous 'New World' casts new light on America's myths Jan 20, 2006
The film proceeds to paint the Europeans' first winter with horrific attention to detail: Outside the fort is a harsh, plentiful wilderness peopled by ''naturals" whose bearing, customs, and language are unfathomable, while inside the gates civilization quickly gives way to madness. As usual, Malick strands any number of gifted actors in small roles -- Noah Taylor, John Savage, David Thewlis all come and go -- as he attends to the big picture of Western idealism wrecked on foreign shores.
