DVD Reviews of Behind Enemy Lines
DVD Review: Not very believable.
Summary: 2 Stars
The hero is a reckless fool, and the villians are all incompetent. This movie is somewhat entertaining, but is just not in any kind of reality.
When he's being shot at hundreds of times, and goes through a minefield, he wouldn't have made it. It's called shrapnel.
Even forgetting about shrapnel, the darn explosions hit him directly half a dozen times and he keeps running.
Gene Hackman, and the jet plane scene were the highpoint. You might squeeze 2 1/2 stars out of me because I was atleast entertained. Not a keeper for my collection.
DVD Review: Uhhhh, why did I get this?
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a one time rental movie and thats about it. I will say that the sound effects are very cool and even better when in surround.DVD Review: Great title for action fans...Awesome sound effects even in Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Summary: 4 Stars
I first saw this movie on DVD the first time several years ago and then when I saw that it had come to Blu-Ray, I knew that I had to buy it. I was kind of disappointed with the picture quality, but then again I was only using 1080i due to a problem with my monitor. If I can manage to find an HDMI-DVI cable that works in 1080p I might post another comment in here so stay tuned. A few scenes were awesome in high definition especially the ones where the F-18 is being pursued by a couple of SAMS (surface to air missiles.) The audio quality on the other hand was outstanding! During the scene with the gunshots where the main pilot gets executed by the Serbian army, the shot was so LOUD I felt like I was standing right there in the field. My friend Mark was watching this movie with me (my first day playing Blu-Ray discs) and he said WHOAA with a capital W.! He said that he couldn't follow the story very well, and I was like, "Dude how could you not?" Basic search and rescue plot with a good story to boot. I believe this movie was based on a true story that happened in the late 90's if I'm not mistaken... DVD Review: Behind Ememy Lines
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good to very good film. Cast is very good. Visuals are great on Blu-Ray.
DVD Review: they don't make them any better
Summary: 5 Stars
High octane action/war flick. Makes you proud of the Red, White & Blue and what it represents.
And it's also fun seeing the bad guys get their comeupponce. Surprised to discover this was the
director John Moore's maiden effort, because he handles the action sequences like a pro.
And Gene Hackman? What can you say about Mr. Hackman that hasn't been said before? Excellent.
As always. This artist is a treasure.
Description of Behind Enemy Lines
Fighter navigator Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson) wants out of the Navy: he was looking for something more than boring recon missions he's been flying. He finds himself the lone Christmas day mission over war-torn Bosnia. But, when he talks pilot Stackhouse into flying slightly off-course to check out an interesting target, the two get shot down. Burnett is soon alone, trying to outrun a pursuing army, while commanding officer Reigert (Gene Hackman) finds his rescue operation hamstrung by politics, forcing Burnett to run far out of his way.Smart casting and sensible plotting make Behind Enemy Lines an above-average military thriller. Perfectly timed to bolster patriotism, the film is partly set (during a hypothetical "day after tomorrow") on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Carl Vinson, which was on alert status in the Persian Gulf when this film was released. Proving his versatility as an unconventional movie star, Owen Wilson plays a navy navigator who is shot down over Bosnia during a reconnaissance mission. Pursued by rebel Serbian forces, Wilson must fight for survival while his commanding officer (Gene Hackman) plots a daredevil rescue. After a successful career in TV commercials, Irish director John Moore makes a promising feature debut on Slovakian locations, borrowing a few techniques from Saving Private Ryan while adding impressive flourishes of his own. The gung-ho ending's a foregone conclusion, but it works like a charm after the movie's exciting game of cat and mouse. --Jeff Shannon
