Intelligent thriller about drug smugglers using an US military base as their operation base. Lots of unforeseeable plot twists and a fast pacing script make this a very entertaining and recommendable flick although I had a hard time following the story because of all the mentioned plot twists and different versions / possibilities of what happened.

From director John McTiernan comes exciting military thriller _Basic_. The story follows an investigation into a training accident in which four Special Forces soldiers have gone missing and are presumed dead. John Travolta, Connie Nielsen, Samuel L. Jackson, and Giovanni Ribisi lead the cast and deliver some really good performances. And the storytelling is well done; effectively building the suspense and mystery...until the last act. Unfortunately the plot tries to be a bit too clever, taking a couple of extra turns, and it ends up backfiring. But minor plot failings aside, _Basic_ is an intense and captivating drama that’s full of intrigue.

Great movie where we are left in the dark for the most part of it, only to figure everything out near the end. If the movie was 30 minutes longer, that would be all fine by me.
