Basic Instinct 2 🎥 2006 Movie Info

Plot Summary

In London, American best-selling author Catherine Tramell is driving with her companion, famous English football star Kevin Franks. Tramell takes Franks’s hand and begins masturbating herself with it as she accelerates the car, but the semi-unconscious Franks appears unaware of what is happening. At the point of orgasm, Tramell veers off the road and crashes into the West India Docks on the Thames. She attempts to save Franks but is unable to undo the seatbelt. When questioned later by the police, she says, “When it came down to it, I guess my life was more important to me than his”.

Tramell’s interrogator, Scotland Yard Detective Superintendent Roy Washburn, notes that D-tubocurarine, a neuromuscular blocking agent used to relax muscles during general anaesthesia for medical surgery, was found in her car and in Franks’ body and the autopsy shows he was not breathing when the crash occurred. Washburn says that a drug dealer claims he sold Tramell DTC, but Tramell counters that he is lying and has no evidence. Tramell begins therapy sessions with Dr. Michael Glass, who has conducted a court-ordered psychiatric examination and given testimony in her case. Dr. Glass suspects Tramell is a narcissist who cannot differentiate between right and wrong.

Tramell begins to manipulate Glass, who becomes increasingly frustrated and intrigued by her, although he has just begun a relationship with another psychiatrist, Michelle. Meanwhile, the journalist boyfriend of Glass’s ex-wife, Denise, who was writing a article criticizing one of Glass’ past cases, is found strangled to death. More murders occur around Dr. Glass, including the killing of Denise and Tramell’s drug dealer ‘Dickie Pep’. His obsession with Tramell grows, and he is increasingly unable to distinguish between right and wrong. When the police begin to suspect Glass of the murders, Washburn, the only one who believes Glass, informs him that Tramell had an affair with Towers and Denise.
