Title: 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.
