Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia (2009) Review:
Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia is a straight to DVD sequel to the 2001 film, Behind Enemy Lines, starring Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman. Behind Enemy Lines found Lt. Chris Burnett (Wilson) shot down while on a routine reconnaissance mission. Burnett, who accidentally violated a “no-fly” zone and entered into enemy air space is now considered persona no grata, a man without a country. The country he mistakenly invaded wants him dead and will not allow the American’s to extract him.
Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia finds a group of Navy SEALs in a similar predicament. An elite team of SEALs, led by Lieutenant Sean Macklin (Joe Manganiello, One Tree Hill, Impact Point), he and his team, including Chief Carter Holt (WWF wrestling star Mr. Kennedy) and Petty Officer 2nd Class Kevin Derricks (Channon Roe, Can’t Hardly Wait, Boogie Nights). Ordered to enter into Colombia by their Commanding Officer, Commander Scott Boytano (Keith David, They Live, Pitch Black), Lt. Macklin and his crew find that their intelligence information was not a thorough as originally thought. Upon arriving at their reconnaissance destination the team of Navy SEALs finds the Colombian Army holding a clandestine meeting with the leaders of a Guerrilla warfare drug operation known as FARC.
Unfortunately, while completing their observation mission a team of unmarked militants swarms the compound and kill all of the meeting attendees. The SEAL team, whose presence was not pre-approved by the Colombian government are blamed for the genocide and are hunted.
During the scuffle two of Lt. Macklin’s men are killed and another is taken prisoner. Now Lt. Macklin and his man must find a way to clear their named, diplomatically, while rescuing their fellow SEAL in order to make it out of this ordeal alive.
The Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia plot is uncannily similar to the plot of the original Behind Enemy Lines. In fact, the writing seems almost lazy, really only changing the character’s names, the dialog and location. Obviously, a slightly hyperbolic statement since the original Behind Enemy Lines found Lt. Chris Burnett alone while being hunted by an Army led by a former Olympic sharp shooter.
Despite the obvious plot issues and/or lack of originality in that department Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia actually proves to be entertaining enough that the plot issues and shortcomings do not come into play. The film ends up being an engaging foray. The action is intense and concise. The film’s portrayal of the SEAL team shows the military as being a well oiled, well trained group of men capable of completing even the most insurmountable of tasks. The SEAL team is organized, competent and loyal to each other. The action sequences and obvious training that the filmmaker’s exhibit really takes up the slack from the sloppy writing.
Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia on DVD features the full length film, presented in widescreen and featuring a 5.1 stereo surround soundtrack. The special features include a feature length audio commentary and a number of featurettes, including one on the stunts of the film, behind the scenes and the casting of Mr. Kennedy. The disc also features a blooper reel.
