Behind Enemy Lines II: Axis of Evil (2006)

North Korea is about to test a missile capable of reaching all of the US. The President (Peter Coyote) decides to send in SEAL team 1 to sabotage the missile. New intel forces him to change his mind and launch a pre-emptive strike. Four SEALs are left behind enemy lines to sit and wait for extraction. However they are found by the North Koreans.This is a B action movie. The story is well and good for the limited movie. The production value is limited. The biggest problem is the editing of the movie. There are all kinds of crazy cheesy effects at work here. They have slo-mo fast-forward echoing effects with ethereal operatic music. Shaky cam is fine, but they shook way too much. The bad action scenes sucked out any possible fun from this movie.

This film has absolutely nothing to compare with BEL1. Very unrealistic acting and shooting scenes. Being a great fan of BEL1, I must admit that I didn't get nothing in that taste from this movie.. Please just watch the opening tittles of BEL1 once more, breathtaking from first second to last one. (_______spoiler_______) from it's first minute its very easy to guess that there will be no operation at all and there are just conversations.. that escape with taxi was way too funny. And there definitely had to be another way to get lost (or broken) wireless communication device rather than donkey scene) the only positive thing for this film is those "fast cut" edits and transitions, but even there they go to overkill. i'm sorry.. it's real crap!Way better go watch original BEL once again instead.

at first i thought that this one was some made up actioneer, to follow up on a hit movie.. boy was i wrong. apparently in 1994 we were days if not hours from a war with Korea. then in 2004 a mushroom cloud appeared over n.Korea, and the united states was very suspicious to accept all of the offered stories. such as a fire, a cloud formation, an explosion at a hydroelectric dam. what really happened was n.Korea, was building a stage 3 tae dong missile, capable of hitting an city in the united states. they recently test fired missiles within the last year, and we know kim il jung is nuts anyway, so this movie is very possible,, and most likely did happen in real life, and probably will again except on a much stronger level. this movie KICKS butt. the action was first rate. i like how they used Ben cross in this one,, in a series of flashbacks. i like the situation room scenes in the white house, very nicely done,, this film had top notch veteran actors. matter of fact i really can't find hardly anything wrong with this movie, it's not quite a 10 but way better than most of the users on this site are willing to give it credit,, where credit should be due. it is a fine sequel to the first behind enemy lines.. only reason it wasn't as good as th e first was no gene hackman or Owen Wilson,, but other than that, you have a movie that i would recommend to anyone,, i guess that's because i'm a history buff, and enjoy movies ripped from today's headlines,, they even used news clips of Colin Powell , condaleeza rice, to name a few. overall this movie is a big THUMBS UP.

This movie is worse than the first one. Both replaced real action with constantly jiggling camera work. The frames change faster than a commercial. Humans do not see the world that way. Apparently the makers of this movie also believe real color is bad. They filter scenes with various colors or make it gray-scale. The constant stuttering film style is dizzying and makes what might have been an OK B-movie flunk completely. I saw the original and made the mistake of buying it, not realizing the stupid photographic style. But it was entertaining. This one is a bore. Thank goodness a friend lent me their rental. I would have pulled my hair out if I made the mistake of buying it.
