Critic Reviews of "Basic"
Chicago ReaderMarch 31, 2010Director John McTiernan does a swell job with James Vanderbilt's sneaky script in keeping us guessing.
New York Daily NewsApril 22, 2003You can fall asleep in the first reel, wake up at the end, and know as much as anyone else.
Rolling StoneApril 10, 2003Made up of remnants from other, better films.
Village VoiceApril 01, 2003Nothing is as it appears, except the fact that nothing is as it appears.
Ebert & RoeperMarch 31, 2003[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.
Toronto StarMarch 28, 2003Travolta is a vital presence that constantly holds our attention, even when the script is threatening to lose it.
Cinema CrazedApril 29, 2009A poor effort with a confusing story and ridiculous plot twist after plot twist.
Las Vegas CityLifeApril 21, 2004McTiernan'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.
Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)January 06, 2004Basic is one of those rare movies without even a single redeeming quality.
Worcester Telegram & GazetteJanuary 04, 2004The 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.
Cinema em CenaOctober 14, 2003A 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.
