Super

Behind Enemy Lines is a moving movie. It tells the story of a downed US pilot in Serbia. The movie is amazing, great camera angles, great acting. The soundtrack adds a whole lot to the movie as well. By all means, get this movie, watch it at all costs.

Solid

Behind enemy lines starts out with a somewhat cheesy storyline. Owen Wilson's character, Chris Burnett, is the cliche of the guy who wants to out-step the boundaries of his institution. As a navy navigation pilot, he wants more than training and test flights. So of course he and his partner outstep their boundaries, crossing into territory that ends up containing people doing something they shouldn't be (those darn Serbians). Their plane is shot down, and Owen's co-pilot, with broken legs, is executed by "hostile Serbian forces." The rest of the movie consists of an action-packed and suspenseful flee to a rescue point. His Commanding officer (played by Hackman), must communicate with Burnett to find a pickup point in order to save his life.
The story is relatively shallow and very unrealistic. The adversary in the movie is a Serbian assassin who insists on going after Burnett alone in order to draw out the movie. Realistically, Burnett would have been killed several times throughout the movie. It's your average action flick, but it's just a little bit more interesting. Fun to watch, but it's no Black Hawk Down when it comes to realism, more like a Jacky Chan movie with an ounce of character.
