amazing turns

Action Packed Thriller !!!! - I loved this movie. Never a dull moment from the moment you start watching. John Travolta has never been better.
Keeps you guessing the whole way through. The ending was a complete surprise.

Basic - Tom Hardy, an ex-Army Ranger turned DEA agent, is drawn into an ever-widening mystery surrounding the disappearance of the feared and often hated Sgt. Nathan West, as well as several of his elite Special Forces trainees on what appears, at first, to have been a routine training exercise during a hurricane in the jungles of Panama. Only two survivors are found, Dunbar, and a badly wounded Kendall, the son of a high-profile Joint Chiefs of Staff official. This movie has a very good story, but be ready for a lot of twists and a suprise ending.

Multiple Plot Twists - Thriller - You cannot guess the ending.

Well worth the price of the DVD.

If you want a guarantee, buy used. You cannot go wrong.

One Of My Most Favorite Movies.... - This movie isn't one of my favorites because of John Travolta or Samuel L. Jackson, but because of the female lead, Connie Nielsen. She hits just the right tone as the Provo Marshall who has her territory invaded by an outsider stealing her case! Great! The interplay between Travolta and Nielsen is great while they try to find out what happened in the jungle and the ending was just what the doctor ordered!

Neat Military Puzzler - Can't say that any of the actors in this were allowed to do their best; but, despite this, the film was entertaining, if not first rate. Travolta often seemed to be acting at acting in the role of a Department of Drug Enforcement agent called in to try to untangle a messed up Ranger exercise in which a number of recruits and their training sergeant had been killed. The objective was interrogation of the two survivors. Jackson is the over the top brutal training sergeant who is seen in flashbacks as the questioning elicited conflicting stories of his death. He played the part to the hilt. Nielsen as the official interrogator is pretty convincing. There are times when the film seems to lose momentum but soon gets back on track with some bit of action. All-in-all, the 100 minutes will pass quickly and leave a good taste behind.

Basic - It's secreative and fall of mystery's. It's a combination of a military cover up, fake your own death mystery and a detective film. The line up is good, but with that talent they deserved a better script. It's still an enjoyable film and worth a watch, if you got nothing else to do. But as I said it's in need of something else, it's just missing something. But for that value it's more than worth the value.
