Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The pop-soundtrack bombast of the too-infrequently somber Behind Enemy Lines ... sometimes reduces a mediocre pursuit movie with capable action to 'Rockin' Bosnia.'
Rotten: Pro forma stuff, so much so that you start to wonder why no fetching femme resistance fighter materializes to help the Americans on the ground.
Rotten: The only thing certain about Behind Enemy Lines is that Mr. Wilson is in it for the chance to work with Mr. Hackman, and Mr. Hackman is in it for the money.
Fresh: An old-fashioned game of the cinematic cat-and-mouse, soldier-on-the-run variety.

Excellant Movie!!!!
This is a must see movie, everytime it's on TV, I have to stop and watch. A must have for any collection.
GREAT MOVIE!!
I think this is an AWSOME movie. It is one of my favorite war movies. Owen Wilson does a great acting job as usual and it is just a very action packed war movie. I highly recommend it!
So True
