Full Plot Details

Nearly two years after having gone amiss in Africa, renowned anthropologist Dr. Ethan Powell (Sir Anthony Hopkins) is caught committing a crime and subsequently imprisoned in a Florida mental institution, where aspiring psychiatrist Dr. Theo Caulder (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) takes over his important case. Dr. Powell, who has been with a group of gorillas during all that time, is not talking at all, and seems to be living in a dreamworld. Very slowly, Dr. Caulder manages to reach Ethan and starts finding out why he killed two of the poachers. Yet, Theo's case is not just about why the murders have happened, but also about how Dr. Powell became the being he is in the first place. With Ethan's silence broken, Theo is introduced into a world beyond common human comprehension: The true nature of being. He learns that mankind's control of everything is a mere illusion and that the true values of existence can't be found so easily. Ethan changes Theo's view of things forever.

Movie Reviews

Hollywood Report Card - 8/10 by Ross AnthonyPerhaps, like the human race itself, "Instinct," far from flawless is nonetheless seductively imperious, and yes, as lovable as a perfect paradox
Compuserve - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenDirector Jon Turteltaub keeps both the physical action and the verbal exchanges flowing, gradually revealing the demons that arouse the scholar to murderous fury.
Matinee Magazine - 7/10 by Chuck RudolphA sanctimonious, heavy-handed conundrum of feel-good clichés and bad-faith intentions.
Salon.com - 7/10 by Andrew O'HehirAlthough 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.
Slate - 6/10 by David EdelsteinThe more subversive Instinct gets in proclaiming free will an illusion fostered by a rigidly repressive society, the more captive it seems to a rigidly repressive studio marketing department.
ReelViews - 6/10 by James BerardinelliA perfect example of how solid directing and good acting can almost redeem a derivative story.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Gary DauphinInstinct moves along at a competent clip, but it's mostly a tease.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Lawrence Van GelderThe medium is more palatable than the saccharine message because Hopkins and Gooding know how to put on a show.
Internet Reviews - 6/10 by Steve RhodesAbsent the two superlative performances, there is nothing to recommend the picture.
Screen It! - 6/10 by Jim JudyGooding's mostly believable and delivers a crowd pleasing take on his character.
