Lt. Chris Burnett has lost faith in his job in the Navy and wants to get out, and is even forced to do a reconnaissance mission with his friend Lt. Jeremy Stackhouse over Bosnia. During the mission, they fly their jet off course to check out a suspicious target that turns out to be the site of a mass grave that contains bodies of Bosnian Muslims. The main perpetrator of the massacre, Gen. Miroslav Lokar, has the plane shot down in order to avoid having the plane obtaining evidence of the massacre. Stackhouse ends up getting killed, while Burnett finds himself alone on the run from Lokar's ruthless soldiers. Burnett's commanding officer, Rear Admiral Leslie Reigart, has trouble gaining approval from his own commanding officers to carry out a search-and-rescue mission to save Burnett. From encountering a major battle in a war-torn town, to mine fields, to Serb soldiers seeking the pilot, and to a highly skilled sniper, will Burnett be able to escape Bosnia, or will he suffer the same fate of his comrade?
A Navy navigator is shot down over enemy territory and is ruthlessly pursued by a secret police enforcer and the opposing troops. Meanwhile his commanding officer goes against orders in an attempt to rescue him.
Arguably I rented this particular movie for the action, not for the amount of intellectual stimulation it offered. The action was acceptable, and this alone justifies many a goofy plot, and poor acting, but in this case, I must say, there is no redemption to be found in a couple of decent action scenes! Sure the prospect of a lone soldier fleeing a horde of enemy forces in hostile territory, might sound okay, but certainly not when the overly patriotic element becomes the axis around which the story evolves. Admittedly the patriotic element is almost always apparent in American war movies, but it goes way to far in this movie. It is the usual story: The American army takes care of its own, and no one, not even the ridiculously pacifistic Europeans are going to interfere! It think it is praiseworthy that the movie attempts to create a little attention around a forgotten war in Bosnia/herzegowina but all it really does it to let American troops advertise their supremacy and shows us the inevitable defeat of a stereotyped eastern European military group. This is by the way *not* a spoiler, because it is so perfectly obvious from the beginning what is going to happen.
The acting is almost acceptable. Owen Wilson clearly tries hard to portray the soldier in terrible distress, that finds courage in the love for his country, and Hackman is almost convincing as Owen's senior officer, but both of these reasonable performances are overshadowed by the BAD plot, and terrible stereotypes we are presented with. 5/10
Behind Enemy Lines ***
Bravo niner delta, what's your vector, Victor?
You'll hear lots of dialogue like that in Behind Enemy Lines. Military code talk is one of the coolest things ever. Vector, copy, come back, affirmative, negative, no-go, R(ally)P(oint)... That stuff is just plain COOL.
Back to the movie review. So you're making a war movie with airplanes. Let's make sure you have everything you need. Stock footage? Check. Lieutenant with a bad boy' attitude? Check. Stuff blowing up? Check. Politically ambiguous military situation? Che what? That doesn't make sense. I mean, we're America... (Don't worry We're the good guys. It's all the rest that's ambiguous.)
See, Behind Enemy Lines is set in Bosnia during the last' days of the civil war in Serbia/Yugoslavia/Bosnia-Herzegovina. Chris Burnett (Wilson) is stationed on an aircraft carrier in the Adriatic Sea. The ship is commanded by Admiral Leslie Reigart (Hackman), who in turn is under the command of NATO, represented by Admiral Piquet (de Almeida). Now, Burnett is a bit of a maverick. Not like the Tom Cruise type Burnett is tired of being in the Navy. He signed on to be a fighter pilot, not a sitting around on the ship pilot. In fact, he's handed in his resignation papers. Of course, you can't just leave in the middle of a mission. When the ship returns to port, Burnett is done. Reigart doesn't really care for Burnett he used to have potential, but now he's just dead weight. So, in a bit of vindictiveness, Reigart assigns Burnett (a navigator) and his pilot, Stackhouse (Gabriel Macht), on a recon mission on Christmas. The recon? A lake. Lovely. But, radar picks up some activity. Activity OFF OF THE ASSIGNED COURSE. Now, we've established that Burnett is a maverick, so, naturally they do recon over there. They take pictures of mass graves. Then, they get shot down. BEHIND ENEMY LINES. This is not good. See, NATO planes were not supposed to be making fly-bys in that area. A peace treaty has just been signed, and things could fall apart at any moment. So, Reigart has a choice to make does he risk the lives of thousands of people to get one man? Does he ensure peace and leave a man behind? We all know the answer to that.
Behind Enemy Lines is slick. It is very, very slick. Teflon. It looks like a video game. A really cool video game. Shifty frame-rates, cool filters, Matrix-style special effects, Saving Private Ryan-camera-effects, it looks way cool. It's not universally realistic, but, stylistically it works very well.
The acting is also good. No one is going to win any acting awards in this picture, but, no one stinks. If you don't know who Gene Hackman is, turn off your computer right now. You have some serious catching up to do. If you don't know who Owen Wilson is, start paying attention. This guy is good. Very, very good. You may have seen him in Zoolander (he was the blonde model). You may have seen him in Shanghai Noon with Jackie Chan. You may have seen an underrated comedy called Rushmore he co-wrote that. He's just beginning to get recognition, and he deserves it. While I think he's better in comedies, he's no slouch as a leading-man-action-hero. Joaquim de Almeida doesn't stand out, but you've seen him before. (He played Bucho (the bad guy) in Desperado)
So, that leaves us with the story. It must be tough to make a war movie now. WWII was easy the bad guys were easy to spot. But, to make a movie based on any war post-1970 must be tricky. Things like finding bad guys' aren't easy anymore. Even in something like the Gulf War. To paraphrase Mark Wahlberg from Three Kings: `I forget... Are we shooting people anymore?' The Balkan conflict was really, really tricky. First of all, there were three sides. Secondly, there was a huge history of racial strife in the area. Thirdly, NATO stepped in to prevent the war from spreading into Macedonia, which would have brought Greece (a NATO member) and Turkey (another NATO member) into the war against each other. Fourthly, keeping all the factions straight was very, very hard unless you studied political science. Behind Enemy Lines doesn't get too bogged down in the details, which is good. Nor does it name real names. Slobodan Milosovic is not mentioned, but he is implied. The story is about an American airman in the middle of the conflict, but it's not based on the story of Lt. Scott O'Grady.
What we have here is a slick, mostly non-political (there are some references to landmines being bad for children and other living things) war movie. It's not perfectly paced, but it's close. The cinematography is really, really cool. And stuff blows up.
The film's flashy visuals (apparently geared to engaging video game-impaired attention spans) are entertaining, but its cynicism is distasteful.
When naval fighter navigator Lieutenant Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson) is shot down during an apparently successful cease-fire over Serb-held Bosnian territory while on a Christmas Day reconnaissance mission and his pilot Lieutenant Jeremy Stackhouse (Gabriel Macht) is summarily executed by Bosnian-Serb General Miroslav Lokar's (Olek Krupa) assassin Sasha (Vladimir Mashkov), Burnett is left to make his way alone to the rally point. Meanwhile, his commanding officer Admiral Leslie Reigart (Gene Hackman) finds himself in conflict with his superior officer, Admiral Juan Miguel Piquet (Joaquim de Almeida), when Reigart orders a search-and-rescue mission to save Burnett. Piquet fears that any attempt to rescue Burnett from behind enemy lines could throw Bosnia into more civil war, thus hampering NATO's withdrawal from the nation. Consequently, Burnett is ordered to make his way to a new extraction point in the friendly zone, a long and dangerous trek that takes him through mine fields, mass graves, and war torn Bosnian villages all the while being pursued by Lokar, Sasha, and their Bosnian-Serb forces. The film is based on a story by American screenwriting brothers James and John Thomas and a screenplay by David Veloz and Zak Penn. Behind Enemy Lines was followed by three unrelated sequels: Behind Enemy Lines II: Axis of Evil (2006) (2006), Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia (2009) (2009), and Seal Team Eight: Behind Enemy Lines (2014) (2014). The Bosnian War took place between April 1992 and December 1995 following the breakup of Yugoslavia. After Bosnia seceded from Yugoslavia, tensions between Bosnia's Serb, Muslim and Croat communities rapidly descended into war between these groups, with, at the height of the conflict, each side fighting each other. The Bosnian War gained international attention because of the numerous war crimes committed on all sides of the war. Growing concern over mounting atrocities led to international intervention, eventually resulting in a peace treaty that ended hostilities in Bosnia in December 1995. While Bosnia has remained at peace since the end of the war, lingering animosities between the country's ethnic groups have hampered progress at full recovery. During their reconnaissance mission, the duo unknowingly took photos of mass graves of the victims of Lokar and his men. Worried that the mass graves would be discovered and the crimes be traced to him, Lokar orders that the jet be shot down and that both Burnett and Stackhouse be killed in the hope that Lokar's crimes would not be exposed to the outside world. Just as the aircraft carrier is gearing up to leave the area, Burnett manages to reactivate the homing beacon on Stackhouse's ejection seat, alerting Reigart that he is still alive. Knowing that he will lose his command for going against orders, Reigart sends out a task force to rescue Burnett. Hot on Burnett's tail are Sasha and Lokar's second-in-command, Colonel Bazda (Marko Igonda), who have been following him. Along the way, however, Bazda steps on a landmine and is killed. Sasha catches up to Burnett, who is apparently shielding himself behind the ejection seat and prepares to outwait him until he hears the Search-and-Rescue helicopters approaching. He sneaks up on Burnett but realizes that he's been tricked as Burnett leaps out of a snowdrift and shoots him several times. Sasha shoots Burnett in the arm, and they go hand-to-hand until Burnett stabs Sasha in the chest with a flare, killing him. Unfortunately, the homing beacon has also alerted Lokar as to Burnett's position, and his tanks and infantry begin crashing through the trees. Burnett runs toward the helicopters, who begin firing on Lokar's troops. Rather than get to safety, however, Burnett runs back to the ejection seat in order to retrieve the hard drive containing the photos of the mass graves. In the final scene, Burnett and the helicopters land on the aircraft carrier amid cheers, and a written epilogue notes: Chris Burnett stayed in the Navy. The photographic evidence he recovered led to the arrest and conviction of Miroslav Lokar for numerous war crimes including genocide. Admiral Leslie Reigart lost command of his Battle Group. He was reassigned to an "administrative" job in Washington. He chose instead to retire with the respect and gratitude of the men and women under his command. No definitive reason is given during the movie, but the general consensus of viewers is that Sasha was a lone wolf, a freelance assassin exclusively loyal to Lokar. He resented having to lug Bazda, an inexperienced officer and possible liability in combat, along with him on his mission to kill Burnett. For the most part, the film is loosely based on the experiences of U.S. Air Force Captain Scott O'Grady. In June 1995, during the war in Bosnia, O'Grady was patrolling Bosnian airspace in part of a NATO-enforced no-fly zone and was shot down by Bosnian Serb forces near the town of Mrkonjic Grad. O'Grady spent six days in Bosnian Serb-controlled territory before he was rescued by US Marines. O'Grady subsequently filed a suit against the film's producers for defamation and for making a movie about his ordeal without his permission. The case was ultimately settled out of court. Nevertheless, the events of the film differ from O'Grady's experiences, such as that he never engaged in combat with his pursuers, nor did he enter populated areas. Viewers who have seen Behind Enemy Lines have also recommended Savior (1998) (1998) in which an American fights in Bosnia as a mercenary, and Harrison's Flowers (2000) (2000) in which an American woman travels into Yugoslavia during the troubles in an attempt to find her journalist husband. No Man's Land (2001) (2001) is a Bosnian-produced film about the War that won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Lepa sela lepo gore (1996) (Pretty Village, Pretty Flame) (1996) is thought of as THE definitive film about the Bosnian War. Though it takes place in Macedonia, Pred dozhdot (1994) (1994) details the stirring ethnic hatreds akin to those in Bosnia. Grbavica (2006) (2006) details, in a way, the aftereffects. a5c7b9f00b
