Great Wartime Movie

This was your classic "Soldier alone 'Behind enemy lines'" It has a great story line and a good amount of action as well. With political and physical confritation, this movie is a must see for anyone who likes movies of this genre.

If you’ve seen BAT-21 (which I do recommend as an alternative), you may have very high hopes for this movie, which is on a similar theme and also staring Gene Hackman. Sadly however all hopes for a decent movie are quickly dashed as the completely fictional and highly predictable tale unfolds.

The story is about an American Navy Pilot who has become disillusioned with the United ... read more

"Action adventure with Owen Wilson as a disgruntled pilot who finds himself alone and behind enemy lines in Bosnia, trying to escape from a rebel army. Meanwhile, commander Gene Hackman is powerless to get him out due to political complications. John Moore tries his best to inject some excitement in this routine adventure with flashy camera work but it's hard to take Wilson serious as an action hero when we know him so well as a chilled comic actor."
