If 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.

Instinct is the second one in a row that Gooding lifts out of mediocrity by the sheer force of his talent, intelligence and personality.

Instinct" is a marketing hook attempting to pass itself off as a movie.

Yet another spiritual weepie that decries human follies and yet puts a happy face on it all.
