Behind Enemy Lines: Axis of Evil
Aaah, the age of sequels continues...But, James Dodson misses what Vidhu Vinod Chopra had used. The sequel has the shadow and the expectation of the first to overcome, therefore it must be better. Much Better.
That is not the case with Behind Enemy Lines. The same old story of a mission being called off in the final stages leaving a handful of US defense personnel(U.S. Navy SEALs in this part) in enemy territory(North Korea). After being told to lie low, they land up in trouble and somehow accomplish the mission which was thought to be better accomplished by other means.
When you have such your theme cut out, there is not much you can do in a war-action movie. Realising that, I could not help but admire how the screenplay keeps you engrossed. It is as fast paced as the first one, and the cinematography in some places is just too good. And I will not say that for many movies with a shaky camera, but here, the effect has been used to perfection.
What to watch out for: The camerawork in the enemy territory.
What to try and ignore: The similarities in the story line.
My Rating: 5/10
