I suppose that Sharon Stone agreed to do this because this was the role that made her a household name, if I were in her place I would have a special place in my heart for Catherine Trimmel, love her or hate her. I like Sharon Stone, as she's used her fame for good things outside of her acting career, which didn't pan out as successfully as one would have wanted with as much publicity as she has received, as her charity work and efforts speak volumes for her. But this movie was just plain bad.

It's 15 years later and Catherine has moved to London. Here she is up to her old tricks, and looking as buff and hard bodied as ever at age 47. She and a football player were in a strange car accident, she survived but the player drowned when the car they were in launched off a bridge and into the Thames. Catherine is being investigated by the police, and she sets her sights on her court appointed therapist, David Morrissey. It unfolds into a rather choppy story, as she continues to tease and mislead Morrissey. The adventures in San Francisco, her old stomping ground and setting for BII, are mentioned, but we never hear exactly what happened with her and Michael Douglas, which lingers in the back of viewers' minds. The bondage and S & M scenes are a bit on the comical side, and, quite honestly, there is little to nothing sexy about Morrissey. He's just lucky to be there. While the first time around we were rather fascinated by Catherine's sociopathic sex appeal, this time it's just not a novelty. She's evil, we've seen it before, it's just not going to work the second time around.

Maybe this movie would have been a good thing if it was recast and not named after the first movie. Otherwise, it's really, really lame. Watch it if you must, but don't expect miracles.
