When in the air, there plane has been painted and soon shot down by a couple missile's. Once the two have landed, They try to communicate back to base. Bosnian Serb Army scouts out to find the one survivor, also they send tracker to hunt and kill him. The navy tries to do everything they can do bring Burnett back home only to be told they can't by higher authority. Now the hunt is on.
This film was just flat out awesome. The amount of detail in everything was just amazing. The acting couldn't be any better, and the story is what really kept me hooked.
Soundtrack was also really good, providing a nice thriller sound. The film is loosely based on an actual event, but how much is unknown.
I'm not so much of a war type movie fan, but I'll make an exception for this one. They really made this film feel so real, so alot of emotion of, a guy stranded in Russia, for a few days of fighting to survive, the race against time that was in it was also just amazing.
It was nice seeing, Owen Wilson play a serious and Navy character, was a nice change. All actors did there part perfectly done. This film I don't think could of been any better!
Also this film did sprout 2 direct-to-dvd sequels. Both don't follow the events of this film, I will be doing at some point those reviews to.
I give, Behind Enemy Lines. _8/10_
Reviews will still be added to, Junes blog. Till there's 30.
