Movie Reviews of Basic
Movie Review: Highly underrated- a real brain-twister
Summary: 5 Stars
If you don't like to think while you're watching a movie then stop reading this and go rent some overblown blockbuster. Basic is an incredible movie with more viable twists than I've seen in any other movie. It's fun to watch it multiple times simply to try to figure out how it all fits together (which, I assure you, it does). I can't help but like Travolta in this movie, and Jackson is always great. Critics panned the movie in theaters- more proof that critics actually don't think themselves- but everyone I've shown it to has enjoyed it. If you like suspense/mystery, then don't miss this one.Movie Review: Basic
Summary: 5 Stars
Tom Hardy, an ex-Army Ranger turned DEA agent, is drawn into an ever-widening mystery surrounding the disappearance of the feared and often hated Sgt. Nathan West, as well as several of his elite Special Forces trainees on what appears, at first, to have been a routine training exercise during a hurricane in the jungles of Panama. Only two survivors are found, Dunbar, and a badly wounded Kendall, the son of a high-profile Joint Chiefs of Staff official. This movie has a very good story, but be ready for a lot of twists and a suprise ending.Movie Review: An Intellectual, Twist-y Thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
While this film is being marketed as a pretty standard 'war/basic training' movie, it's anything but -- more like a really good "Law & Order" episode meets "Jag". We stumbled into it when it was the only thing left at the multiplex, and were very pleasantly surprised by the performances and a script with several twists and turns you really can't outwit. A handful of marines have been murdered on a training exercise, and the suspects and motives are multiple. A smart, sexy, interesting film.Movie Review: Bored? U Shud Watch This
Summary: 5 Stars
Basic is a very suspenseful film full of unforeseeable plot-twists. But not the badly crafted type, these twists and turns are edible and well woven into the story.
There is no point giving a synopsis because the story 'isnt wuite what it seems" from the beginning.
Deriously, though, you should get this, sit in the dark and watch it. you will not take your eyes of eh screen for a minute

Movie Review: One Of My Most Favorite Movies....
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie isn't one of my favorites because of John Travolta or Samuel L. Jackson, but because of the female lead, Connie Nielsen. She hits just the right tone as the Provo Marshall who has her territory invaded by an outsider stealing her case! Great! The interplay between Travolta and Nielsen is great while they try to find out what happened in the jungle and the ending was just what the doctor ordered!
