Must See Movie...

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

A Navy navigator is shot down over enemy territory and is ruthlessly pursued by a secret police enforcer and the opposing troops. Meanwhile his commanding officer goes against orders in an attempt to rescue him. Behind Enemy Lines (2001) is an underrated Masterpiece that unfortunately was criticized cause of the Propaganda but it is truly a great movie and the Casting is perfect. Owen Wilson gives an amazing performance as the main pilot who falls behind enemy lines and Gene Hackman once again is amazing as the commanding officer that tries to rescue him. The film is full of action and suspense from both aspects of the Pilot and the Commanding Officer because one tries to stay alive and the other tries to go against his commands and rescue the pilot. As i wrote in my summary the movie contains one of the coolest slow mo sequences ever and it's during the scene where a soldier stomps on a mine and slowly we start seeing him turning and turning as the explosion happens and it's truly something terrific for a movie that was made in 2001. Plus Owen Wilson has a moment of bravery where he kills a tracker in a spectacular way and then World War III basically starts once the Choppers come in. Overall this is one hell of a movie and like i just wrote it's just a "movie" don't take everything so seriously and hate it just because it's America and Propaganda it's one hell of an action film and an even better thriller/survival film. (A+)

I truly enjoyed this movie, because it took a lighthearted approach to 'running for your life' while serving in the forces. I was, however, disheartened by the fact that Scott O'Grady brought down a law suit on the study for "portraying him" in a bad light. This movie was about anything else but Scott O'Grady. Note: Sorry Scott, but it's not about you...I enjoyed the way Wilson took control of his character and lived up to the expectation of what one would expect from a Navy pilot. Let's not forget Gene 'The Man' Hackman. It's difficult to imagine Hackman 'not' being in the service because he does it so 'friggin' well.The movie is suspenseful and the supporting cast is simply awesome! It's just one of those films where not enough credit was given to everyone, all around!

Behind Enemy Lines is a mediocre movie with a well developed storyline and a talented cast.It is very enjoyable,although I think the main thing it wanted to be was a war film,which it didn't particularly succeed at,they're suppose to have very dramatic moments and some really intense scenes that make us feel like the main character is in genuine danger and could die at any moment,there wasn't much of that in this,it has a lot of comic relief,which I will admit was pretty funny but it really took away from being a good drama.I don't think Owen Wilson was great casting for the lead role and they didn't give us a reason to really care for his character before he is put in great danger.However,Gene Hackman certainly saved this movie and is the main reason why my rating isn't lower,he delivers a really dramatic and inspired performance and his dialogue was the closest thing to making this feel like a proper war movie.Its not a great War film but it is action packed and has some good moments,I would recommend Behind Enemy Lines if you ever see it on television,but don't go out of your way to watch it. The US navy must rescue one of their own when he is shot down over enemy territory.Best Performance: Gene Hackman Worst Performance: Vladimir MashkovIf you have any recommendations on films/TV series I should watch or review,or any questions to ask me,just tweet me @DillonTheHarris

Thr negative reviewers must be watching a different movie. Yes it's not going to win any awards for originality. But it's still a great movie. Big fan of the cinematography used, nice hand-held footage that is not over the top. The acting is good, the action is good. There is nothing really to dislike about this movie. I think Owen Wilson did a commendable job in this movie and while he normally does comedies, I think he fits the role nicely. The bad guys are dis-likable too, not comical or over the top. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoy this movie. Worth watching.
