THE STORY: The fate of the world hangs in the balance in this explosive action thriller. Brace yourself for nonstop action and chilling suspense, because there’s no turning back in this pulse-pounding sequel that takes you Behind Enemy Lines for another adrenaline-fueled adventure! When a team of U.S. Navy SEALs is assigned to destroy a North Korean missile site and avert a possible nuclear strike, failure is not an option. But the mission is abruptly aborted, stranding four soldiers in enemy territory. Now, in order to survive, they must defeat the rebel forces that threaten their lives, their allies and the entire free world!
THE REVIEW: Interestingly, Behind The Lines II is set in North Korea and is released the week when North Korea happens at the top of the news. The original film that starred Gene Hackman and Owen Wilson was awful. Why they made a sequel that ended up going direct-to-video doesn’t make much sense.
The only thing that Behind Enemy Lines II has going for it is the political nature of the movie and its relevance. If you want to rent this for the excitement and action you’ll be sorely disappointed. Because the movie was given a small budget it seemed that this is where the money was cut from.
THE EXTRAS:
The commentary by director James Dodson is a yawn.
The two features are “Communicating Behind Enemy Lines: A Look On the Set” and
“Exploring Enemy Lines: Decision and Perception.”
FRANKLY: Behind Enemy Lines II is only rentable.
