Critics Consensus: The plot for Behind Enemy Lines is more jingoistic than credible, and the overload of flashy visual tricks makes the action sequences resemble a video game.

Reviews

Gone With The Twins

Mike Massie

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

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.

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.

Action movie with intense peril and devastation.
