The problem is that we've been given nothing to make us care for any of these people, so when the mysteries unravel there's nothing in the answers that hit us at a gut level.

A poor effort with a confusing story and ridiculous plot twist after plot twist.

Made up of remnants from other, better films.

A estrutura narrativa (obviamente inspirada em Rashomon) é interessante, mas a necessidade de criar reviravoltas surpreendentes praticamente destrói o filme, já que, ao final da projeção, nada mais faz sentido.

Nothing is as it appears, except the fact that nothing is as it appears.

Basically bad and sorry attempt at a thriller.

Director John McTiernan does a swell job with James Vanderbilt's sneaky script in keeping us guessing.

McTiernan's bitten off way more than he could chew, spicing up the Usual Suspects approach with a dash of Rashomon and a little of help from A Few Good Men.

[Basic] had a great sense of itself and it had a lot of fun taking us from one corner to the next and then spinning us around until we got dizzy and didn't know where we were. I like that.

Basic is one of those rare movies without even a single redeeming quality.

You can fall asleep in the first reel, wake up at the end, and know as much as anyone else.

Travolta is a vital presence that constantly holds our attention, even when the script is threatening to lose it.
