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.

Just not worth revisiting, unless one wants to tie one's brain into a knot for no discernible reward.

Basically, it's a muddle.

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.

As the mismatched interrogators, Travolta and Nielson seem to be in two different and incompatible movies.
