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.

I have had to turn off only 2 movies midway through in my lifetime and this was one of them. The camera work made this movie completely unwatchable, I was almost ill watching the camera shake around wildly even when the characters were standing still in a failed attempt to add excitement. And all of the scene's were so jumpy that it was difficult to figure out what was actually going on. It sounded like an interesting story, I was interested to see how it was going to pan out, but the direction I'm afraid ruined it entirely. Within the first 15 minutes or so both me and my wife had to keep looking away from the screen because the constant shaking was driving us both nuts, we tried to hold out until the action scenes were done but finally we both deemed it wasn't worth sitting through the whole movie not even able to watch the screen. Do yourself a huge favor and pass on this one.

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.

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.
