Cinematography

excessive use of Cinematographic effects. its very distracting making it almost impossible to focus on the story line. not to be mean or anything but looks like this guy just came out of film school and wanted to try it all. this could have been a far much better movie. the cameras movie move around too much though out the film and the lighting is off in the Korean scenes give the viewer a sense of the time line being somewhere in the 70's or 80's like a flashback effect. seems the best scenes int this movie are the conversations between the U.S President and the Ambassador.if they used these effects to intensify moment and i wish they actually made use of a steady cam's capabilities not just have it shaking like a saltshaker. i loved the first movie and i was a little bit heart broken when i saw this.

war with n. Korea?

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.

Awful direction and script

Looks like some producers at Fox remembered they made a pretty good little military thriller a decade or so ago; that film was BEHIND ENEMY LINES, casting the unlikely Owen Wilson as a soldier stranded in a hostile country and forced to fight his way out with help from the reliable Gene Hackman.

BEHIND ENEMY LINES II: AXIS OF EVIL has absolutely NOTHING in common with that movie. Instead this is a dumb, offensive and blockheaded pseudo-thriller that manages to offend everybody it depicts, from the Asian stereotypes to the knuckle-dragging US military. The plot, in which a crack squad are sent behind enemy lines in North Korea to destroy a missile, is as dumb as it sounds and the film is loaded with errors, both factual and otherwise.

You know you're in trouble from the outset, with James Dodson's direction winning the difficult position of being the worst thing about the film (and when the script is this bad, that's an impressive achievement). Dodson appears to be on speed throughout, cutting like there's no tomorrow and going in for dodgy/crazy shaky-cam effects throughout. The result is a film that's very nearly unwatchable.

The acting is pitiful and you end up feeling sorry for the recognisable faces who've clearly fallen on hard times; among them are Keith David, Ben Cross and Peter Coyote, a trio of former stars who must be wondering what sins they committed in a past life in order for them to appear in this. The action scenes are among the worst I've seen and the whole patriotic flag-waving stuff is vomit-inducing indeed. Give it a miss!
