Review of Basic

Basic (2003)
7/10
Complicated
19 February 2024
A very complicated whodunnit, with a twist at the end, it is a very interesting film, and acted well, but the storyline was too complicated, especially set against lots of noise which made it hard to understand the dialogue. Even after the film ended, and there was not really a whodunnit, because there was no murder, it all left me a bit confused, an extremely complicated ruse in order to uncover a drug operation, surely they would have done something far simpler, and the complicated plot was not convincing.

John Travolta was as good as he gets, Connie Neilson was also very good, the others supported ably. The action was good, the scenery was excellent, the fast speed of the changing stories/storyline was a bit fast but not too fast, although if it was a longer film and the storyline spread out a bit, it could have benefitted, also the ending could have been a bit more longer and dramatic, but overall it was good, despite the unconvincing, over-complicated plot.
