Movie Reviews of Behind Enemy Lines
Movie Review: Great effects, great acting, great movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
What a ride! Amazing flight effects. I really felt the thrill and the terror of being pursued by heat-seeking missiles that just can't be shaken. Great character development for the protagonist, a young sassy airman who puts in for a discharge in the beginning of the movie. Gene Hackman's character is complex and realistic as well, caught between the modern political details of war and the simple commitment to keeping his troops safe. I felt that this movie dealt very well with a lot of the issues and emotions behind the conflict in Kosovo. Two scenes especially bring home what was at stake during these events-when the young airman evades capture by blending in with bodies in a mass grave, and when he is with the Bosnians in Hac (sp?), a town under siege by Milosevic's forces. This is a great modern war movie, and I'd readily recommend it to anyone who's interested in movies about history, the military, or good-old-fashioned exciting action films.Movie Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
Behind Enemy Lines was not another one of those war-type movies where some guy gets shot down in his airplane. It had much more to it than that. It wasnt predictable, it was an edge of your seat thriller. Behind Enemy Lines had a perfect plot, and a perfect ending. Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman did an excellent job, as did the other actors and actresses of this film. When two pilots decide to fly over an area that they aren't supposed to fly over, their plane camera takes pictures of missles and illegal doings. They are seen and are shot down, after an incredible fight, and his friend is shot. Now Owen Wilson is running for his life, and can only rely on his instincts, and those people who are instructing him from afar. It is a perfect hide and seek type movie...it is action packed and full of excitement. That is why I have given this movie such a high rating. Behind Enemy Lines was shocking, powerful, and an excellent film.Movie Review: Behind Enemy Lines
Summary: 5 Stars
I just saw this movie tonight(opening night) and I thought it was the best action movie I have seen at the movie theater this year. The story is about a Navy officer(Owen Wilson) who is about to quit the Navy due to the lack of excitement and the fact that there are wars going on so he only gets to go out in a plane and then come right back. But when the Navy commander(Gene Hackman) sends him out on another mission, Wilson travels into a Bosnia war base where his plane is shot down. After wilson and his partner land, the Bosnians find his partner and kill him, leaving Wilson all alone to defend himslef and try to stay alive behind enemy lines. Every scene has something exciting heppening. There are great twists and the plot is just perfect for a war/action movie. If you are looking for a good action-packed war-type movie, Behind Enemy Lines is the best one to find.Movie Review: Wow
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is based upon a true story.It's Christmas day but that doesn't mean that Burnett and Stackhouse will be spared of a mission to fly over war-torn Bosnia.
As they fly over Bosnia, these two brave American soldiers notice that the serbs are still roaming the Bosnia's region but worst of all they discover a mass grave. The hand-blooded serbs don't like the idea of Americans shooting photographs from the plane and reveal their ugly deeds to the world so they Shoot the plane succesfully then things start to go terribly wrong as the Americans are behind dangerous enemy lines.
One gets captured and executed immediately. The other one escapes and this movie is how he survives.
Absolutely accurate. The Serbs and French commanders who back up their war crimes are shown like they truly are.
A must see movie.
Highly Recommended
Movie Review: Great film
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't get to see this film in theatres, and quite honestly, I didn't really want to, either. In fact, when going to rent a movie for the weekend, I passed this one despite a suggestion from a friend. Eventually, I decided to check it out, although I thought it would be another "stupid war movie." I was very pleasantly surprised.Although not completely accurate, it was still a great action film that kept me interested the entire time. (And after all, Hollywood's first priority was never accuracy, was it?) I thought the acting from Gene Hackman was wonderful, and Owen Wilson did a great job, as well. Although predictable at times, this is one of those rare films in which, even though you know what will happen, you STILL want to see it.
Overall, a great film. I would highly recommend it.
