Director John McTiernan does a swell job with James Vanderbilt's sneaky script in keeping us guessing. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- The problem is that we've been given nothing to make us care for any of these people, so when the mysteries unravel there's nothing in the answers that hit us at a gut level.

Rating: 1.5/4 -- You can fall asleep in the first reel, wake up at the end, and know as much as anyone else.

[Basic] had a great sense of itself and it had a lot of fun taking us from one corner to the next and then spinning us around until we got dizzy and didn't know where we were. I like that.
