Plays more like a recruitment video for the US military than any serious examination of conflict.

Pro forma stuff, so much so that you start to wonder why no fetching femme resistance fighter materializes to help the Americans on the ground.

The filmmakers do their best to distract us, but eventually it becomes hard to ignore that Behind Enemy Lines is one long chase sequence.

From its prosaic title to its convenient timeliness, this valentine to U.S. military guys hamstrung by officious NATO bureaucrats could hardly seem less promising

The only thing certain about Behind Enemy Lines is that Mr. Wilson is in it for the chance to work with Mr. Hackman, and Mr. Hackman is in it for the money.

That's just one of many reasons why I'm reluctant to call Behind the Lines entertainment. Propaganda, MTV-style, might be closer to the truth.

This baby comes equipped with all the bells and missiles. Given the standard-issue plot, it's about all it can be.

A satisfying enough piece of giddy-up entertainment that raises a few passing questions about the American 'cowboy mentality' before ultimately deciding it's a lot more fun to simply eat your action movie cake than try to have it too.

A piece of junk.

Behind Enemy Lines crosses into the ugly side of patriotism.

Action movie with intense peril and devastation.

An old-fashioned game of the cinematic cat-and-mouse, soldier-on-the-run variety.
