Where to Watch Basic
- stuhannaford2 de marzo de 2026For a film titled 'Basic', its storyline is anything but, in terms of trying to follow what on Earth is going on. It's a murder mystery in a jungle setting, with a long list of names of characters that you have no investment in, nor idea who is who. I'm not overly sure what the initial plot setting is to be perfectly honest. And then to top that element of confusion off, the writers clearly decided that if one twist is good, and a second is great... why not do ten, eleven, twelve? A complete and utter, incoherent mess. Even when you think they have twisted themselves out, and the final, final reveal is offered up... they turn the story on its head again... and then again for good measure. Zero chemistry from the two leads and the less said about Ribisi's odd accent the better.

Canal de Panama. 1 de Noviembre. 18:00 horas. Un huracán golpea con fuerza una base del ejército norteamericano y alrededores. Un equipo de Rangers, un cuerpo de élite de operaciones encubiertas, a las órdenes del temible sargento Nathan West (Samuel L. Jackson) se despliega en la jungla en lo que parecen unas simples maniobras. 17 horas después, el sargento y varios miembros de su equipo han desaparecido. Dos soldados son rescatados del lugar de los hechos y cada uno tiene una versión distinta de lo sucedido. El ejército convoca al brillante e indisciplinado interrogador Tom Hardy (John Travolta) para descubrir la verdad. Todo parece indicar que no se trataba de una simple misión de entrenamiento...
