About this movie

Hollywood’s hottest double act join forces for the first time since Pulp Fiction for non-stop action in Basic. Travolta is Tom Hardy, ex-Army Ranger turned Drug Enforcement Agency agent, a hardman with a dark past. Hardy is drawn into a mystery as wild as the hurricane-ravaged jungles of Panama when he is ordered to investigate the disappearance of a legendary special forces instructor, Sgt. Nathan West (Samuel L. Jackson) and several of his elite team. What happened out there? Hardy intends to find out – at any price. Deception proves to be a dangerous game as Hardy unravels the truth with shocking consequences. From the director of Die Hard, Basic delivers all-action thrills with an all-star cast, including Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), Giovanni Ribisi (Gone In Sixty Seconds) and Brian Van Holt (Windtalkers).

SUPERB!!! Sam Jackson is fantastic in this! Just his presence on screen is worth seeing... top film, one that makes you think and then smack's you in the face with an ending you will not see coming. Absolutely loved it!
