Summary: Amazing
Review: This movie is by far one of the best movies I've ever seen. I want to become a syciatrist and this movie made me want to be one even more: how ironic is that! The plot, acting, emotion were all incredible. I would strongly suggest sitting down and watching it verse while making dinner ect.Buy It!

Summary: Instinct
Review: Wow, I feel all intelligent and cultured now with a understanding of man. Anthony Hopkins isn't Human, how can anyone act that good. He takes a normal potentially good script, turns it in to a role with suspence, horror, deep feelings, anger, and so on and so on. One to see, this is a good film, there can be No argument about this. Buy it.

Summary: Good, but, but...
Review: ...it had the potential of being a classic on the level and very much like "The Shawshank Redemption"--which has many moments that are sublimely well done--but somehow had lost something in the storytelling. True both Sir Hopkins and Gooding did fine jobs acting but I felt unconvinced that their characters' meeting changed anything about their lives...and let's face it, one of the reasons I watch movies is to be suckered in emotionally and fooled. 'Instinct' had a great premise marred by the lack of true chemistry between it's majors...take another look at "Shawshank.." and see what I mean.

Summary: Good actors, trite story
Review: A psychiatrist met a murderer, than. after several meeting, both men changed. And all these are accompanying with jungle, jail, bad guard, corrupt jail marshal. I am happy it doesn't involve with court and hearing. "Both actors are excellent".That's all I feel after seeing this movie.

Summary: it's a bit of this & that.
Review: Normally, before watching a movie, I would want to know who the cast is, who the director is, & also the production team to ensure a great nite entertainment. Well, this movie is from Mandalay, & thus, a little bit of Alan Guber magic is expected. The credential for "Instinct" is almost flawless but after sitting thru the movie for 2 hours, I was feeling indifferent despite there were good moments in the movie. The messages about human losing touch with nature, our propensity to destroy the beauty around us, the issue about freedom & control were discussed here. However, the intensity that were expected between Anthony Hopkins & Cuba Gooding Jr never percipitated. The gorillas happened to be the star of the show but then again, are they real considering that Stan Winston, the special effect guy who brought us the Alien creature is credited with special effect here? Pretty convincing stuff. One couldn't help noticing "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"'s element in the movie, though. Subsequently, I couldn't help noticing that the movie failed to focus onto one issue but trying to be a bit of everything. The storyline gave the movie a strong foundation to concentrate upon the 2 main characters but it failed to deliver big time. Maura Tierney was given limited screen time anyway & she was simply there to add a female element into the movie & nothing more. Donald Sutherland simply had the presence & I wished he was given more opportunity to display his acting brilliance. John Ashton (who was one of the merry bunch in Beverly Hills Cops with Eddie Murphy) seemed to be comfortable in his role as a prison warden. Overall, I still think that the movie is rather predictable as expected from Hollywood. In summary, a guy going nuts (other believe so anyway), a shrink trying to prove that he's the smartest kid on the block & along the way felt for the guy & thus, trying to help him, the guy is getting fed up with the world that it has become & tries to protect the unprotected from any harm & along the way, they felt for the guy too, the guy finally realises that there's more to it to life rather than holding old grudges, the shrink & the guy's daughter is happy because the guy has got his final redemption. The End.

Summary: Not as good as the book ¿
Review: This movie was pretty intense, with the "psycho" guy being unpredictably violent, eccentric, and kind. It seemed like a lot of movies I've seen, where there's supposed to be a whole underlying understanding the characters have that I just don't get. I keep reading reviews saying how great and emotionally powerful this movie is, but it didn't make a real impression on me.I enjoyed this movie and its rare references to the book it was supposedly inspired by, _Ishmael_, by Daniel Quinn. It's really irritating to someone who understands the ideas in _Ishmael_ to see them, first, given so little screen time, and, second, misunderstood so utterly. Where is it said that humans are evil and destroying the earth and have lost touch with nature? That's not the point at all.

Summary: More than adequate
Review: Hopkins is always awesome.. Gooding is good too. It's definitely worth watching, but the "bad man,good earth" motif is flogged to death, true though the premise may be. And there's a little too much symbolic gesturing for my liking: Cuba standing in the rain like our Tony did, Cuba holding his hands out to be manacled just like our Tony did, etc etc.. a small sigh at those points but apart from that it's good to keep you off the streets for a couple of hours.

Summary: Critics who jump to the tune of films like American Beauty
Review: _Instinct_ was an excellent movie for several reasons: Riviting performances: Hopkins is intense and unpredictable--but predictably good. Gooding is excellent in an entirely color & gender-blind role. It might as easily have been played by a woman, an Asian, a Caucasian--anyone. Those roles are rare in Hollywood, and their creation should be encouraged. The mystery and the message: a little predictable, but moving and credible. (The critic who thinks the climax unbelievable should read the newspaper from several years back when a similar event occurred in reality--unfortunately with a less satisfactory outcome.) I loved the film and intend to purchase it.

Summary: More then excellent
Review: This movie moved me. It is incredible to see what humans can do to other species. In my opinion the character of Hopkins (who gave an incredible performance as always) is entitled to defend the Gorrila's. Why should a human life be worth more then the life of a Gorrila. There is only a couple of them left and millions and millions of us. We are the vermin of this earth. Poachers and the people who buy from them should be prospecuted to the highest possible level.
