DVD Review: Yet Another In-Name-Only Sequel: Equally Unique Political Background, Much Less Actions
Summary: 2 Stars
Though it is a low-budget, in-name-only sequel to the Gene Hackman / Owen Wilson film made in 2001, "Behind Enemy Lines 2: Axis of Evil" has one new and bold idea that is certainly interesting. The newer film tries to employ the standard action flick formula against the recent political and historical background around and since the 1994 framework accord between North Korea and the United States. The film has even a neat twist in the story, which refers to the real-life event in 2004, a mushroom cloud that was allegedly witnessed in North Korea.
The story begins promisingly. It is about the mission of the Navy SEAL team to destroy a missile site found in North Korea. When they start to drop out of an airplane flying over the target area, however, the order to abort the mission arrives. The order came too late and four soldiers are left `behind enemy's line.' It is contrived, and considering the geography of Korea, jumping from the sky is too risky and highly implausible (going from the sea is much easier), but well, it is still OK.
Unfortunately the film goes downhill from there. The actions themselves are not bad, but they are poorly edited. Many reviewers (including me) are complaining about the shaky camera, but more problematic is the lack of suspense that was felt in the original "Behind Enemy Lines' or "BAT 21." Instead of giving the thrilling scenes of how US military headquarter communicate the isolated SEALS through the radio and other media, it shows us painful tortures, one old `taxi' and a bizarre car accident on the country road. Frankly I still don't see the point of the last two episodes.
The film also shows us the game of international politics in White House with Peter Coyote's US President and Bruce McGill's stereotyped general. During the discussion on the consequences of the attack on North Korea, Ambassador of South Korea shows up, but the names of Japan and China are not mentioned in this film, which is I think very strange.
Unlike other action flicks `like "Stealth," "Die Another Day" and, yes, "Team America: World Police," "Behind Enemy Lines 2: Axis of Evil" tries to incorporate real on-going events into action film. It's a bold step (especially when North Korea really announced its nuclear test in 2006), but still it must be said the film's story is weak, and actions need better choreography.
