Review of Basic

Basic (2003)
6/10
Fun to watch absurdities
18 September 2010
I like movies where you as a watcher are groping in the dark, wondering what is actually going on most of the time. It keeps me interested and makes me think. I personally like that. I am sure that others will become quite angry with the movie. Because it's continually tricks you. The movie has a fun to watch plot, with lots of twists. Too bad that they overdid it a bit with the twists. (Even though, those twist are the charm of the movie.) The movie isn't stupid, but could have been a lot smarter. In the very end, the whole movie feels totally unrealistic and absurd.

I also have to say, that I didn't like the main actors characters much. Their relationship was silly. And especially Travolta was way too cool for my taste. And usually I like Travolta being way too cool. Didn't work for me in this movie.
