This movie more than exceeded my expectations. Who knew that Owen Wilson could leap from comedy to drama so easily making us look like fools to think he was a one-genre actor. The brilliant story made up for the lack of... Full review

Even though Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman did well in this film, I like it primarly because its based on the true story of Scott O Grady, the actual pilot who was shot down behind Serbian lines in occupied Bosnia.This film... Full review

I thought this was a well made war film about an air force pilot down behind enemy lines. With some great action sequences throughout the film. Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman also deliver good performances. It's worth watching.... Full review

If you prefer movies with Tarantino-like dialogue, if you prefer realism to fantasy, or if you prefer character development to flashy action sequences, then avoid this movie like the plague. Lucky for me I was in the mood while watching this.... Full review

This really was a pretty good movie. It takes a story concept that isnt used as much as others. Owen Wilson does a pretty good job fulfilling his role as the pilot trying to escsape from the enemy. Would recommend this... Full review

Dramatically, Behind Enemy Lines retains its tension, like one of the many wires that connect dozens of landmines in one of the films spectacular stunt sequences.
Although the story and the structure is along fairly classic chase genre lines, Behind Enemy Lines excels at what it sets out to do, proving that similar stories can be repeated and still excite us.

Now that's a war movie--one which embraces all the standard war movie tropes (which I use here because it's a kinder word than "clichés").....pits a good guy against an impossible number of bad guys, it's an unbelievably simple narrative arc..... ... Full Review

Action films also depend on viewers' ability to suspend belief in the real world as they know it and just kick back and enjoy the show.
The most dangerous job in Hollywood is being the hero's best friend.

This isn't a great movie by any stretch of the imagination
Behind Enemy Lines wants to do nothing more than entertain, and it certainly accomplishes this modest goal.

Owen Wilson stars opposite Gene Hackman in this pointless exercise in CGI and pyrotechnics.
Hackman's character has a really appropriate line, "use your training.
