Behind Enemy Lines

In the grand tradition of Rambo-style movies and 'run, people with guns are chasing me' films, this movie doesn't really rely heavily on, shall we say, deep and meaningful dialogue. It's got the same familiar elements you've seen before, in action movies - the reluctant hero, his friend, murdered by the enemy, must save himself and the locals from a huge conspiracy, involving a lot of pyrotechnics, gunfire, and heavy weaponry. Well, so it's been done before, it's still kind of a fun film, with a little bit of social commentary in it. Nothing new here, except some fresh faces in the cast, so I'd save your money and wait for the video, if I were you.
