Movie Reviews of Basic

Movie Review: Basic deception
Summary: 5 Stars

This is by far Travolta's best movie since "Face-off". Basic is almost impossible to predic, that's what I love about this moive, not many thrillers can do that anymore. The ending was great! Much better ending than "Identity", why? because it is not a let down, many movies now days end with you saying what's was the point, for one Tarantino's movies(Pulp Fiction), even if their not bad movies they always living you saying what's the point. Another great thing about basic is the cast, Academy Award nomine Sam Jackson and the very hot Connie Nielsen, she sould be in more stuff. Once Agian Travolta's has made another winner! He relly has proved to be one of the best actors of all time. If you like this movie, try out "The General's Daughter", "Snake Eyes".

Movie Review: HAD TO CHUCKLE!
Summary: 5 Stars

I thoroughly enjoy reading what others say about what they have seen and I had to chuckle that so many got left in the dust in understanding the movie.

Travolta's character knew more than he let on yet he had a mystery to solve -- who was the peron behind the drug running?

That the whole scheme was a set up was easy to figure out -- but who was on who's side? Little missy had brains but not the knowledge to figure it out -- Hardin didn't like where his smart-talking investigation was leading.
And don't you think that we have these kind of guys out there backing up our military?
Will be watching this one over again -- only complaint I have is their barnyard language - but then I guess they think that makes them men?? Kind of illiterate, what?


Movie Review: leave the ending alone people
Summary: 5 Stars

regardless of what many people here say, the ending is part of what makes this movie so great. the old-school "hand of god" ending is great. It's good for people who are sick of the twelve standard plots. Some may say that a whodunnit has plenty of mystery, but you go into it knowing that every theory is wrong until you are about an hour and a half into the movie.
Yes, the ending does negate most of the movie, but so what. It is not a waste of time to watch this movie, it is a waste of time to watch another, more predictable movie that gives away the ending after ten minutes. Go into the movie with an open mind and you will leave happy, don't and you won't.

Movie Review: "Basic" Rules!
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved this movie, it is a must see twice to appreciate it type movie (mainly because of the surprise ending), but worth seeing again! The plot is convoluted, but keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way to the final scene. John Travolta is funny, charming, and charismatic, and I will probably go see this movie at least two more times to be able to totally appreciate the plot. No, you will never be able to figure out who's the bad guy, who's the good guy, and what really happened (or didn't) but it isn't a mystery, so who cares! I like to see movies that are "entertaining", I'm not looking for some deep story, etc, and entertaining it is!

Movie Review: This is a great movie with more than a plot....
Summary: 5 Stars

This was a great movie. I just watched it on DVD and I was mad at myself for not going to see it at the movies. The plot keeps you more than interested. You feel like a detective tring to figure out the truth. The ending was amazing. Many movies give you an ending that is exciting, but you figure it out before the movie is over. Trust me that is not true for this movie. Some of the others said there were to many plots, but if you like something that will keep you guessing and engaged you will love it. I am sure you will love this movie and never figure out the ending and it will make you watch it again. I loved it.
