I love this movie so much

Beautiful, moving film.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Entertaining movie, had to suspend belief for some of the scenes, but had enough action to fill up 2 hours or so. I would have given this movie more stars if it were not for the buttfumble of the movie casting world, casting Owen Wilson in the part of a Navy Pilot. This is comparable to casting DJ Qualls, the skinny kid from Road Trip, in a movie where he is the winning Quarterback of a football team. Owen Wilson was absolutely the wrong choice for the part, he is far too goofy, too much the California hippie dim witted character, and is much better suited for stuff like he did in Zoolander. Beyond this, it is not a bad movie, just could be better with an actor other than Owen Wilson.

Well despite what others thought I really enjoyed this. I hadn't seen it in ages and had a great time watching it again, a thrill ride with solid characters, excellent special effects, and some cool looking camera work. Just as an FYI this is a great movie to watch on the treadmill as it's essentially just one long chase sequence set to some decent music.It does get a bit rah-rah-ridiculous during the final climax, flag waving and just OTT bordering on silly but whatever I was still entertained.This never slowed down, sure you can question the believability of events but I just enjoyed the ride, as our hero runs through exploding minefields, slides down the side of a dam, and hides in a pile of dead bodies with the enemy just inches away from him. There's a scene in a defunct factory/minefield where one of the bad guys suffers the shock waves of a (grenade) blast in slow motion, I've never seen anything like it, well done. The fighter jet scenes while being targeted by a missile reminded me of 'Top Gun', but were still exciting.The story follows Owen Wilson as a navy pilot who is shot down over enemy territory and then struggles to get to his extraction point while surviving the relentless pursuit of a deadly tracker/sniper and countless hostile troops. With his rescue mission is delayed by politics, commanding officer (Gene Hackman) goes against orders to bring him home.I liked seeing Owen Wilson in this downplayed action role, he did a great job as did Hackman, but he's playing a familiar character. Vladimir Mashkov is chilling as the Serbian sniper dude too. 2/23/16

This movie has a plot that could have been interesting if done right. Unfortunately it was done badly.A recon pilot and co-pilot disobey orders by departing from his assigned flight path over Bosnia. They get shot down by bad guys operating in a demilitarized zone where they have been murdering civilians. One of the two (didn't ever figure out which) is injured, found by the bad guys who shot down the plane. They shoot the good guy. The remaining good guy was climbing a hill to establish radio contact with his aircraft carrier. He sees the shooting. He screams out loud at the sight of it, thus betraying his position. The rest of the movie is about him evading the bad guys pursuing him. Of course he is a superman and the bad guys are knuckle-dragging idiots, so evil the Devil himself would shun their company. The admiral on the aircraft carrier overrides orders and sends out rescue mission of a few attack helicopters. Just as all admirals, he joins the mission. Acting as the modern day cavalry, the copters arrive just in the nick of time to save our hero from capture by the bad guys, blowing up tanks with their missiles and machine gunning lots of bad guys. The movie ends with some written remarks that try to give the impression this was a true story and the people in it were real.Another war movie in which the lopsided depictions of the two sides and the truly ridiculous ending add the final touches of banality to what otherwise was only mildly entertaining.Read the "Hated It" reviews for more details about the numerous failings.

Behind enemy lines is an intriguing movie. If it was based on a true story, I could see why people would be so "critical". Well folks, it's not based on true events and it's just a movie. We don't have to break down why an Admiral puts forth an order for no search and rescue or why sailors on the deck are playing football. The movie to me is not considered a war movie but more of a survival movie.I thought Owen Wilson did a great job , Considering that he is more of a comedic actor.I served in the Navy and I'm not going to sit here and analyze a simple movie based on what's real and what's not. I liked the action , the sense of survival and the storyline. It's not a great movie but a type of movie to pass the time and keep you intrigued.Although it's 2016, I still enjoy watching this movie.
