Basic Psych

I really enjoyed this psychological thriller! Good insight into therapy and how it works (or doesn't) very realistic, great acting, and the ending was such a surprise. Great job of the character development and realistic plot development.

I attended this showing with several friends, and we were all speechless as the movie ended. We excitedly reviewed the clues, the red herrings, and had quite a few different opinions. A film that generates this much discussion after the viewing has value as a thriller. It also had such a twist at the end that was so artfully done.

I need to see this film again to follow the plot more closely.

Great film.

A masterful Whodunit! The plot develops from the opening scene with the characters intertwining and creating an intense, unexpected drama. With expertly crafted suspense, a psychiatrist and his patient create a palpable tension that never lets up. The screenplay is tightly woven, the acting is first rate, and accomplished actor Michael Cerveris delivers another standout performance. With many twists and turns in the final minutes, this unforeseen outcome is not revealed until the last climactic scene. An excellent movie! See it a second time to catch all of the nuances that you might have missed.

Amazing unexpected thriller!

Wow, what a shocker movie!

We were kept on the edge of our seats the entire movie.

The movie had such an unexpected ending!

Amazing thriller that kept us laser focused for the entire movie!

The movie has wonderful acting, great scenery, dramatic camera work and thriller music background.

There are great scenes of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area and neighborhoods.

Overall, very intriguing story line and tumultuous plot changes that make you hang on for every scene and keep you second guessing the surprising and terrifying conclusion!

Thank you for the great entertainment.

Basic Pscych is a tightly scripted drama written by a physician. Benefiting from his professional experience and insights, Jim Tucker introduces the viewer to several dilemmas facing medical care providers when they are sought out by disturbed and frankly scarey patients. Is the patient being truthful? Is he a danger to the doctor and his family or to others? Is it proper to continue providing care or is it ethical to abandon the patient?

The intricate plot and several subplots challenge the viewer to attend to the subtle clues seeded within this story of a psychiatrist entangled with an apparently dangerous patient. The resolution of the plot is surprising, but as one reconsiders the totality of the movie, the ending should be no surprise.

Your close attention will be well rewarded as you watch Basic Psych.

A movie that will capture your attention from the get go and will keep you fully engaged to the end. Lots of twists and turns and a surprise ending, which few among us watching, guessed correctly!!

It is a psychological thriller, set in the world of a psychiatrist and his patient. Well directed and acted, this feels like this could be happening to people you know or to people you could encounter in your daily life.

Written by Jim Tucker and directed by Melissa Martin with strong performances by Michael Cerevis, Cotter Smith and David Conrad, this movie is one of the better movies I have seen this year.
