- stuhannaford2 mars 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.

Une nuit, lors d'un exercice d'entraînement, un ouragan frappe Panama. Six militaires dont l'autoritaire sergent West disparaissent et il ne reste que deux témoins pour raconter ce qu'il s'est passé. L'agent Tom Hardy, qui travaille pour la Drug Enforcement Administration, est rapidement appelé sur les lieux pour mener l'enquête aux côtés du lieutenant Julia Osborne, qui n'a obtenu aucune information des deux survivants. L'un d'eux a en effet insisté pour ne parler qu'à Tom Hardy. Julia Osborne, surprise par cette demande, s'interroge sur le lien pouvant exister entre ce dernier et toute cette histoire. La vérité sera difficile à obtenir. En tout cas, une chose est sûre, ce n'est pas l'ouragan qui est la cause de la disparition du sergent West et de ses hommes...
