Behind Enemy Lines is an action movie starring Owen Wilson. It takes
place in Bosnia during the UN peacekeeping missions. Wilson plays a US
Navy F-18 navigator, Lt Chris Burnett. On a reconaissance mission, his
fighter is shot down and he has to make his way to safety while the
Serbs (or was it Bosnians?) try to track him down and kill him because
he saw things he shouldn't have seen.
The movie is well done for the $40M budget. It was filmed on location
with lots of locals. Cinematography uses a lot of changing camera
speeds and playing with sound. Graphic violence is kept low to make the
PG-13 and the extended scenes show just how much more graphic the movie
could have been. It's an entertaining action movie.
