	Behind Enemy Lines (2001): Reviews
		A Navy pilot (Wilson) is shot down over enemy territory, and struggles to survive the relentless pursuit of a ruthless secret police enforcer, a deadly tracker, and countless hostile troops.
		War is hellishly entertaining, especially in Behind Enemy Lines, a 21-gun salute to the commitment and preparedness of the U.S. military.
		Behind Enemy Lines has a wretched script and a director (first-timer John Moore) who either has no taste or doesn't know what he's doing.

	Behind Enemy Lines (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Behind Enemy Lines (2001)
		Of course, in a film such as Behind Enemy Lines, someone who might actually care about an absence of war must be seen as a coward, a weasel, or a cowardly weasel.
		Behind Enemy Lines fell flat for a number of reasons, some explained, some not, but all problematic nonetheless.
		Behind Enemy Lines appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	BEHIND ENEMY LINES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		So now comes "Behind Enemy Lines," a 2002 release that was rush-released in theaters to take advantage of the current patriotic fervor.
		Developed and shot long before September 11, "Behind Enemy Lines" is a real flag waver, a cinematic recruiting poster that shamelessly borrows from "Top Gun" and other films.
		Indeed, "Behind Enemy Lines" is all masculine posturing, a standard action film that lacks the mass appeal of "Top Gun." "Behind Enemy Lines" was made by men for men who like to watch other men beat the odds.

	AboutFilm.com - Behind Enemy Lines (2001)
		But Behind Enemy Lines was not released last summer and would not even have been released this fall if 20th Century Fox hadn't accelerated the production schedule by some seven weeks to capitalize on our rediscovered patriotism.
		Behind Enemy Lines is the work of story writers Jim & John Thomas, proprietors of ominous credits like Mission to Mars and Wild Wild West (but also Predator!), and screenwriters David Veloz and Zak Penn, who own no significant credits at all.
		Behind Enemy Lines features herky-jerky, short-attention-span direction that is effective at times, but would be more effective if used more judiciously.

	Behind Enemy Lines (2001)
		Behind Enemy Lines begins at the end of a long stretch of "peacekeeping" between all of the different factions in Bosnia.
		Behind Enemy Lines is almost a remake of his 1988 film Bat*21 with him moving from the part of the downed flyer to the role of the rescuer from the base.
		Behind Enemy Lines was directed by a first timer: John Moore.

	Behind Enemy Lines
		Aside from the timing, Behind Enemy Lines is a standard action movie, which means it is not that good.
		Because of the state of the world in which the movie is playing, it can be seen as either a great patriotic movie or shameless (unintentional) propaganda for the US military.
		Behind Enemy Lines recounts the efforts of Lt. Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson, Zoolander, Meet the Parents) to evade capture and return to friendly ground.

	BEHIND ENEMY LINES
		The line of march was up a ravine or branch, west of town, into a wheat or oat field, that had grown up in iron weeds, sufficiently tall to entirely conceal or hide us from the enemy.
		The enemy was formed in the street and rear of their horses and houses, and of course, greatly protected by both.
		The enemy was directly between us and as we were in easy range, it is very probable that their command and ours, on the west had suffered from each other’s fire.

	BEHIND ENEMY LINES - DVD
		John Moore makes his directorial debut with the high-volume, flag-waving Behind Enemy Lines, but the film so recalls the visual excesses of Top Gun and Enemy of the State (down to a satellite surveillance sequence) that I began to wonder halfway through if "John Moore" was a nom de plume for Tony Scott.
		Everything else about Behind Enemy Lines, after all, is basically a retread: the third Gene Hackman "not leaving a man behind" film after Bat 21 and Uncommon Valor, and the umpteenth time the veteran actor has been asked to play a snarling iconoclast, spitting in the face of an unfeeling establishment.
		Everything American is good in the world of Behind Enemy Lines, and I can frankly think of no better time for a jingoistic bit of bombastic propaganda to hit the cineplexes than in the same week that American ground troops are deployed to Afghanistan.

	DVD REVIEW: "BEHIND ENEMY LINES"
		Behind the Scenes Featurette - 6+ minute look at the film, including scenes from it, behind the scenes footage and various interviews with those associated with the film.
		For instance, it's unlikely that a trained navigator would leave his injured pilot out in the open, behind enemy lines, after their plane has just been shot down.

	BEHIND ENEMY LINES
		In Lines, Owen Wilson (Zoolander) plays Lt. Chris Burnett, a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Superhornet navigator whose frustration over being a beat cop working a neighborhood that nobody cares about boils over into a cynicism that threatens to stall his once-promising career.
		Lines' action scenes are surprisingly effective, especially the scene where Burnett's plane is taken down by the Bosnian missiles.
		I never thought for a second Lines would evoke memories of Saving Private Ryan, but some of Moore's choppy, handheld camera work (not to mention the story) looks like it came from Spielberg's editing room floor.

	Behind Enemy Lines
		After being shot down behind enemy lines, Hackman vows to save his pilot and goes in after him.
		From first time director John Moore, "Behind Enemy Lines" is a popcorn action thriller which could do for Owen Wilson's career what "Die Hard" did for Bruce Willis, both being from comedy backgrounds and all.
		After witnessing the execution of his injured comrade Brown is now trapped in enemy territory and must rely on his survival and mental skills to survive against the countless ground troops on his tail.

	Behind Enemy Lines Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Enemy's Navy fighter pilot Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson), stationed on the Adriatic, is shot down over hostile Serb territory while on a routine reconnaissance mission.
		Though Enemy bears a similar plot hook to Spy Game, it aspires to be nothing more than a thrilling war-torn chase with a rah-rah jingoistic twist.
		This is the true story behind the longest sustained ground battle involving American soldiers since the Vietnam War.

	Behind Enemy Lines
		Behind Enemy Lines was originally intended for 2002, but was then moved earlier, apparently to capitalize on an anticipated post-WTC surge of patriotism.
		Despite its lack of depth, the film might still have worked as a serviceable action-adventure pyrotechnics festival were it not for the casting of Owen Wilson in the lead role.
		Behind Enemy Lines takes a simple premise and simplifies it even further; it's a comic book with very few of the frames colored in.

	Behind Enemy Lines (2001): Owen Wilson, Gene Hackman, Olek Krupa, David Keith - PopMatters Film Review
		Filthy after having to hide himself beneath rotting corpses, and exhausted after running for what appears to be miles and miles across the wintry tundra, he catches a ride on a pickup truck carrying a ragtag group of armed rebels.
		Indeed, when 20th Century Fox test-screened Behind Enemy Lines, audience response went "through the roof" (there must be a press mandate on this phrase, because I've heard it used numerous times in relation to this film).
		Behind Enemy Lines is excruciatingly jingoistic in its creation of such invigorating distance.

	Behind Enemy Lines
		Behind Enemy Lines is junk food, but it's patriotic junk food, and it's tasty enough.
		Any thrills Behind Enemy Lines generates are hollow at best and are ultimately rendered meaningless by the movie's unabashed jingoism.
		The filmmakers do their best to distract us, but eventually it becomes hard to ignore that Behind Enemy Lines is one long chase sequence.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Behind Enemy Lines" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		If John Moore's first feature, "Behind Enemy Lines," is any indication of the goods he's got, one thing's for sure: He's a director who'll never let acting get in the way of his filmmaking.
		There's a sprinkling of depth in "Behind Enemy Lines," represented by some artfully disturbing shots of mass graves and a stellar view of a statue of the Virgin Mary with one side of her face blown off.
		What's more, "Behind Enemy Lines" was filmed in the Carpathian Mountains, and many of the vistas are eerily gorgeous.

	IGN: Behind Enemy Lines Review
		March 28, 2002 - There are certainly better "war" movies than Behind Enemy Lines and you definitely won't be mistaking Owen Wilson for any number of war movie regulars (Tom Sizemore anyone?) but despite its shortcomings, this is one for the DVD faithful.
		Behind Enemy Lines flew under the radar of most filmgoers mainly because of the timing of its release.
		You probably will get bored with all of the politics and structuring behind the film (I did), but this was never really supposed to make a statement or even have much of a plot.

	Pilot Down: Behind Enemy Lines Review
		The developers of the game, Kuju Entertainment’s Wide Games, have once again returned to WWII with Pilot Down: Behind Enemy Lines, the story of a downed airman over Germany in 1943 as he tries to escape into neutral Switzerland.
		Engaging with civilians also poses a problem for gamers since the character is bound to the Geneva Convention and therefore cannot harm anybody on civvies street – an annoying flaw with a weak excuse.
		Enemy AI is weak at best and bemusing at other times with soldiers unable to differentiate when the player’s characters has moved position and is now right next to them pointing a gun at their temple leading to an unbelievable experience and one that obliterates any sliver of immersion created by the game.

	CNN.com - Review: 'Enemy Lines' slam-bang silliness - November 29, 2001
		Moore's idea of mixing it up is to alter the angle of the terrain Wilson plunges down while enemy soldiers try to kill him.
		At the beginning of the picture, Burnett and his pilot/best friend, Stackhouse (Gabriel Macht), are frustrated by a situation that's come to be a staple of modern war movies: America's supposed refusal to let its armed forces win a conflict.
		Don't let the "honor among soldiers" dialogue fool you: "Behind Enemy Lines'" excessive violence is designed solely to generate an adrenaline rush.

		Behind Enemy Lines is a good movie depending on what you want out of it.
		There’s another clip that’s kind of an alternate scene, kind of an outtake, kind of a behind the scenes thing.
		It’s got a little bit of behind the scenes footage and Owen doing the scene in the truck bed on the way to Hac but without any cuts or edits.

		They move smoothly whether they're walking, crawling, running, or plying any of their deadly skills, and you can learn all about them through a fast and friendly in-game tutorial that focuses on each of their individual skills.
		For instance, the marine is an adept killer, able to emerge from underwater instantly, armed and ready with knife and harpoon gun - but he needs the green beret's brawn to dispose of the bodies.

		"Behind Enemy Lines" is a great example of the action film that is so fast-paced, so visually dazzling, and so tense that the viewer doesn't have much time to think about the film itself.
		But who cares: BEHIND ENEMY LINES would work even if the leads were Henry Gibson and Larry the Cable Guy.

	Behind Enemy Lines: Fact or Fiction?
		Bruce Kirkland's report of 22 April 2002 in the Toronto Sun describes Behind Enemy Lines as "American jingoism – and a bad film." Unfortunately for its producers, it was up against movies showing true heroism such as depicted in Black Hawk Down.
		Instead, in Behind Enemy Lines, the American audience is treated to "a story loosely based on the experience of American pilot Scott O' Grady after he was shot down in Bosnia in 1995." (Los Angeles Times, 28 Nov. 2001).
		O' Grady tells it to the American people, he escaped and evaded the enemy for five days, subsisting mainly on grass and bugs with only the company of cows, until rescued by a Marine search and rescue team nearly sixty miles from where his parachute was seen coming down.
