Lots of things blown up
F-18 Fighter navigator Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson) is tired of boring meaningless flying over the Balkins. On a routine Christmas mission, he gets stuck on a recon mission. They go off course to scout a target, but get shot down. The Serbs find the pilot and executes him. Chris goes on the run alone against massive forces. Meanwhile Admiral Leslie McMahon Reigart (Gene Hackman) in command of the carrier sets out to rescue the down pilot despite orders not to.There are many things going wrong with this movie. First there is no way any command would not go to Hell to rescue a down pilot. A bit of diplomacy is not going to stop any American command. The only possible excuse is logistics, and an aircraft carrier has all the logistic they need.
Then there is the standard bad guys can’t shot straight. Owen Wilson is bullet proof. They are blowing up the entire country and yet they keep missing the guy. It gets ridiculous after awhile.
This is a blow em up action thriller disguised as a realistic military movie. If you forget any pretense of real danger, this is a good fun time having things explode.
Throw This Film In Front of Enemy Lines.
Behind Enemy Lines (2001): Dir: John Moore / Cast: Owen Wilson, Gene Hackman, David Keith, Gabriel Macht, Vladimir Mashkov: Title indicates that someone is on the wrong side of the track. It can also indicate one’s reaction to viewing this sh*t. Owen Wilson stars as a fighter pilot in the Navy who is sent on a mission at Christmas time to test a digital camera. He accidentally uncovers an operation resulting in their plane being shot down. His partner is murdered but Wilson escapes on foot. From there it is Wilson running for his life and Gene Hackman under pressure from admirable to leave everything be. Lame action scenes highlight with director John Moore failing to deliver anything interesting. We are given pointless footage of sniper’s reactions to orders as if we need to see his sneer one more time. Wilson runs, makes narrow escapes, and then runs some more. Hackman is totally wasted in a role that becomes his worst since The Replacements. David Keith and Gabriel Macht also appear in this mess as if enough careers weren’t tarnished by its awfulness already. Vladimir Mashkov plays the most boring villain in the history of film. A tennis racquet with a paper face on it would be more compelling. Anyone remaining until the end of the film should be given a special jury prize for their patience. How about the opportunity to cut the reel to shreds or use the film as target practice? Score: 1 / 10
