If you loved The Stunt Man, try Basic
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Action / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Stunt Man, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Basic is
Panama. Torrential rain, a poncho. Six shredded soldiers, missing. The drill sergeant, too. Two survivors offer conflicting stories, but a former Ranger arrives to sift fact from jungle rot. McTiernan's return to form never quite materialized.
