Behind Enemy Lines (2001)

 

Genre: Action
Directed by: John Moore
Starring: Owen Wilson, Gene Hackman 

Running time: 106 minutes

 

American naval flight officer Lieutenant Chris Burnett ventures over enemy lines, along with his pilot, during the Bosnian War. After their plane gets shot down and the pilot gets killed, Burnett has to run and fight for his life while his commanding officer waits for approval to retrieve him from enemy territory.

This is your run-of-the-mill action/war movie. The acting is decent and the story is entertaining, albeit predictable. The special effects add an air of cheesiness to the whole thing. Overall, I was entertained while the movie lasted, but there is nothing much here to write home about.
