The movie is best watched whilst a few drinks shy of inebriation. A year after a failed undercover operation in Vietnam, Mike Weston finds out that the partner he thought was dead is still alive in a brutal prison camp. Once the movie passes into its middle it becomes a bit dull and the ending, as others have observed, is more like a Rambo film and gets quite farcical. As for the movie, the opening scenes are the most rewarding.

Apparently its true that history is written by the victors. U571 is another, now notorious, example of this. And it's this kind of 'it happened like this' cinema (which most often involves Americans saving the world) that concerns me most. Behind Enemy Lines is a 2001 action film that stars Owen Wilson as LT Chris Burnett, a US Navy radar intercept officer who must evade enemy forces after his.

I find this disturbing simply because there are any number of extremely dumb people out there that would see such final comments and assume the film was, after all, based on true events. This film is certainly no comedy, so the appearance of these notes, to me, would seem to imply that the movie was in part based in reality. Now, call me old-fashioned, but such final scene 'what they did next' stuff in my book is reserved for two types of film - comedy spoofs and documentaries. Particularly laughable (and somewhat disturbing) in this no brainer action film was the dreadful end sequence, where we get to find out (via the wonder of the subtitled explanation) what happens to the main characters. And just who were the enemy? The Bosnians? The Serbs? The Croats? The film didn't seem very certain itself and neither was I, even at the end. As long as there is conflict in the world, there will be a Hollywood movie to glorify it and vilify the enemy. Navy F-18 is shot down over Bosnia, photographing sensitive areas, the local military try to cover it up.

Chris Burnett) Gene Hackman (RADM Leslie Reigart) Gabriel Macht (Lt. But that's OK, because no matter what happens when you disobey orders, it all comes out good in the end. Disobey them in such a way as to get your best friend killed. Instead of going over those I'd like to point out the overriding message this film taught me. People have already remarked on various inaccuracies and symbolism such as the angel in the midst of war etc.

It has reasonable special effects, a plot that is simple and oh so seen before, and a square jawed handsome hero (although, looking at Wilson's nose, not that handsome). Kang Tae Joo, and Kim Kang Woo will be the main cast of the upcoming film 'Sad Tropical.' Currently Watching: Rainless Love in a Godless Land. Take one standard action film involving Americans, add in a new baddie for them to triumph over, and have the baddies act atrociously and brutally, then let the good guys be victorious in the end.

If the series works, it won't have to rely on the movie's memory or reputation at all.Let's see. So far it sounds very loosely based on the movie, and the title could just be a good way to get eyeballs from those who remember and/or like the film.

Here's how Deadline describes the TV version: Behind Enemy Lines В aВ high-octane military thriller about an American flight crew that isВ shot down while on a secretВ mission over the jungles of Latin America, their commanding officer aboard an aircraft carrier fighting to bring them home, and a female CIA officer in Washington who stumbles into a sprawling conspiracy that unites them all. That last company also produced the feature version of the story. The whole deal comes from 20th Century Fox TV, Temple Hill ( Revenge), andВ Davis Entertainment ( The Blacklist). Meanwhile his commanding officer goes against orders in an attempt to rescue him.Дeadline has info on the development, saying that Jeffrey Nachmanoff ( Hostages, Chicago Fire, Homeland) willВ write and direct the the pilot, if things get that far. Now it's Behind Enemy Lines getting the film-to-TV treatment, as the 2001 film, which originally starred Gene Hackman and Owen Wilson in relatively rare action/thriller mode, inspires a drama series thatВ has Fox interested.Дidn't see the movie? Saw it but barely remember that Tuesday night? Maybe you can't distinguish it from one of the three direct-to-video sequels that followed? Here's the recap: A Navy navigator is shot down over enemy territory and is ruthlessly pursued by a secret police enforcer and the opposing troops. You know the drill by now.В A movie doesn't even have to be super-beloved or crazy recognizable to earnВ an expansion to the TV series format.
