Portland Oregonian - Kim Morgan
Basic essentially is a fun movie, surprise ending and all. To take it too seriously is to miss the point. Travolta is charming, his performance recapturing the old charisma.

San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
Just not worth revisiting, unless one wants to tie one's brain into a knot for no discernible reward.

Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey
Basically, it's a muddle.
50
USA Today - Mike Clark
The tepid result is like "Courage Under Fire" without the compelling Meg Ryan angle, or Travolta's 1999 "The General's Daughter" without the sexual squalor. It all feels a little moldy.
40
TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh
As the mismatched interrogators, Travolta and Nielson seem to be in two different and incompatible movies.
