70Although Instinct is strictly a Hollywood formula picture, it's such an efficiently executed one, built around two such outstanding actors, that for the most part you won't mind.
-
60The medium is more palatable than the saccharine message because Hopkins and Gooding know how to put on a show.
-
Instinct moves along at a competent clip, but it's mostly a tease.
-
38If there's anything worse than a movie hammered together out of pieces of bad screenplays, it's a movie made from the scraps of good ones.
