Behind Enemy Lines

Clips are a waste of my time, if you advertise a film please show the film and not 5 different short clips, THIS IS A RIPOFF HULU.

if you don't remember this is based roughly off a true story. there was an aviator shot down during our involvement in bosnia. i remember, i was in the military at the time, and he did have to run for his life to avoid the serbs, he used his training to finally get back to safety and escape capture. if you dont know anything about the serbs who were chasing him, do some research, i had my share of run-ins with some of the worst of them. the fact that gene hackman is in both movies is where the similarity ends. the only thing i fault in this movie is the directors tendency to over dramatize the stunts, like the scene where owen wilson runs into a minefield, no way he could have survived that untouched if it were real, in fact the last couple of mines catch him in the kill zone, but he doesn't get a scratch? and some of the other stunts were way over the top, like the baseball slide to retrieve the recording, and the leap off the cliff to the chopper. if they toned it down a bit i would have liked it better, but those particular types of scenes made it a bit cheesy. made me wonder if they were really trying to tell the story or make it "better". sometimes embellishment is detrimental to a good story.owen might not have fit the role perfectly, but i gave him a chance since in reality there are guys just like him in the military, not everyone is gung ho. sure he sucks in most of his movies, but i give him a pat on the back for taking what was probably a more serious role than most people are used to seeing him in. sure his goofy humor sucks, but then have you ever been around any pilots or officers in the military? one of the guys in my platoon kinda had the same personality.i give it 3.5 to 4 stars cause it does give you the feel of the location, the story is a good one, and for the most part it is accurate, especially if the movies military adviser was captain Dye (i cant remember if he is or not). but the cheesiness killed any chance of it rating 5 stars. if you want to see a better movie about bosnia, i would recommend "the hunting party"

really...either show the whole movie and not just clips or forget it. No one wants to watch clips from a ten year old movie. Show the whole movie or shut the heck up.

Entertaining, but I seriously thought it was a remake of "Bat*21" from 1988, which had the tagline, "Trapped behind enemy lines. A whole army after him... And only one man can save him." Gene Hackman has the same role in both flicks.

That's all I have to say.

To each their own, either you love it or hate it.
