It isn’t one of the great war movies, again and again disrupted by poor editing choices, but it’s still modest entertainment.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 2, 2025

Drearily gauzed over with a blue-tinted aesthetic, peppered with questionable depictions of its antagonistic forces and featuring a woefully miscast Owen Wilson in the leading role, there’s not a lot to admire about the film.

| Original Score: 3.5/10 | Sep 22, 2022

With director [John] Moore's blue-gray pallor over most of the film tinged with intermittent splashes of color and [Martin] Smith's music-video style editing, Behind Enemy Lines explodes into an anthem for the U.S. and our servicemen and women.

| Original Score: C | Sep 7, 2011

Action movie with intense peril and devastation.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 6, 2005

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

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jan 7, 2005

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

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 25, 2004

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.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 18, 2003

Behind Enemy Lines crosses into the ugly side of patriotism.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 8, 2003

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 30, 2003

This film was so uninspired and bad, it is difficult to find anything positive to say about it.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 8, 2002

It's pure adventure hokum, despite some end captions which are put up as though the events portrayed really happened (they didn't).

| Nov 10, 2002

Military thriller aims high and misses the barn door by a mile.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 7, 2002

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

| Nov 6, 2002

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2002

There isn't a single surprise, but there is a lot of hokey (and mostly too loud) music, along with tired visuals (parachuting over a snow-clad angel statue is one) and stuff blowing up.
