Fighter navigator Chris Burnett wants out: he was looking for something more than the boring recon missions he's been flying. He finds himself flying the lone Christmas day mission over war-torn Bosnia. But when he talks pilot Stackhouse into flying slightly off-course to check out an interesting target, the two get shot down. Burnett is soon alone, trying to outrun a pursuing army, while commanding officer Reigert finds his rescue operation hamstrung by politics, forcing Burnett to run far out of his way.
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.
Amazing film, I watched it over and over when I first bought it on DVD. Owen Wilson, cranking out a very effective dramatic role, brings to life this documentary on a downed pilot in hostile territory in a real way, reminding me who freaking good it is to be American. Some of the film's highlights: Powerful performances by Wilson and Gene Hackman, and Olek Krupa, effective musical score, emotionally charged dialogue, and a climactic ending with American helicopters blowing away the enemy soldiers. Demonstrates the power of the American military.
Whoever thought Owen Wilson could carry a major action film should be shot. He would have ruined even a good action movie, and this is not a good action movie. I can't think of any living actor more totally lacking in charisma or more irritating to listen to (where does he GET that nasal whine?). He's a godsend to his supporting cast; my eyes naturally long to go somewhere, anywhere rather than settle on Wilson, so the bit players get a lot more attention than they otherwise would. Unfortunately, a lot of this film shows Wilson out in the wild by himself, so my eyes cannot escape this thing, this sorry excuse for an actor, that is on the screen.
But the converse applies also; if Wilson would have ruined even a good action movie, not even a strong leading man (say, Joaquin Phoenix) could have saved this movie. There is only one good action set-piece, the missile attack against the Hornet fighter-bomber. For the entire remainder of the movie, we are subjected to Wilson stumbling through one stupid situation after another. Wilson skylines himself while trying to communicate with the carrier crew; a sniper misses him even though he is a perfect, stationary target; at another point a whole freakin' ARMORED COMPANY misses him with everything from small arms to 20mm cannons at a range of about 250 yards -and he isn't even taking cover! These stupidities are important even for a lowbrow action movie from which you expect no brains: the action scenes need to make you think, `Wow, isn't he good!' not `Wow, God looks out for fools and drunkards.'
Even the redoubtable Gene Hackman can't contribute much to this movie. With the best will in the world, it's impossible to miss the fact that Hackman is too old to lead young, strong men into combat. He belongs behind a desk, where his mind can save their lives; behind the controls of a chopper, he's apt to cost them their lives.
Worst of all, John Moore invests the military men he intends to glorify with a large dose of that most unmilitary of traits: self-pity. Every character gets his turn to whine - and yes, I'm afraid `whine' is the word - about the political rules that make their lives tougher and more dangerous. Get this, warriors: WARS ARE FOUGHT FOR POLITICAL GOALS. A war without political goals is mere pointless murder. No warrior has the right to expect the country to which he pledges his life to let him endanger GOOD policies (stopping genocide in Bosnia, for instance, or destroying al-Qaeda) in order to save his own skin or his comrades'.
Only one thing in BEHIND ENEMY LINES is consistently good. I have never seen a clearer portrayal of the immense devastation that civil war wreaked on the Balkans. Nathan Crowley presents us with a bizarre, surreal moonscape of broken, twisted metal, wrecked vehicles, destroyed buildings and ruined works of art. The sets hauntingly render the sheer waste and sense of loss.
Militarism is not merely the exaltation of the military virtues: courage, honor, loyalty, discipline, and teamwork. If it were, militarism would be a good thing. But true militarism is more than this. It is the belief that the nation exists to serve the professional military forces, rather than the other way around. And in this sense, BEHIND ENEMY LINES is a militarist movie in the worst sense of the word.
Rating: ** (an extra half star for the sets)
Recommendation: Watch on TV, but only if you appreciate fine production design.
A slickly entertaining war movie that's sometimes striking, sometimes silly -- but never, ever boring.
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. 497e39180f
