Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Leofwine_draca COLOMBIA is the third of the BEHIND ENEMY LINES film series and a definite step up from the godawful mess that was BEHIND ENEMY LINES II: AXIS OF EVIL, although that's not to say it's a good film. It's still below par for the most part, but at least veteran actor/director Tim Matheson knows how to shoot his film properly, without all of that annoying shaky camera stuff that ruined the last instalment.The plot is a simplistic skeleton on which to hang a framework of low rent, high firepower action sequences. Expect one shootout after another here, along with some cheesy camaraderie and macho heroics. A SEAL team is sent to Colombia to sort out some FARC terrorists, only to find themselves framed and betrayed, and forced to fight their way out.COLOMBIA benefits from a star-studded cast incorporating the likes of Keith David, Steven Bauer, Matheson himself, and Yancey Arias. The lead roles are taken by the tall and wooden Joe Manganiello and wrestler Ken Anderson, which gives you some idea of the level of acting talent here. Like many recent American B-movies set in South America, this one was filmed in Puerto Rico. I also noticed it was made made by WWE Studios, which explains the presence of the wrestler.
dbborroughs Direct to DVD sequel to a sequel (how many behind Enemy Lines are there anyway?) about navy seals trapped between factions in Columbia when a surveillance mission goes wrong and the two sides they were watching are blown up. Hunted by everyone it soon transpires that larger forces are at work and that they may not even be able to trust each other. WWE movie directed by Tim Matheson is a serviceable and watchable film but is also the sort of thing that is doomed to spend its life either forgotten on the video store rental shelves or perhaps popping up occasionally to fill a hole in one of the second or third tier cable network schedule. Its not a bad film, but it's the sort of thing your only going to turn to when every other movie station has nothing on or the sports channels are just showing reruns of the world series of poker. Approach accordingly.
Amin Jacoub I rarely have an opportunity to watch kind of a movies like this. There is of course audience that like that kind of entertainment: simple story, action packed etc., but if you look on it more seriously, this movie is better to avoid. It don't have any character, only cheap presentation of low level quality entertainment and highly predictable plot. I can't give you complete review of the movie because I could not watch it more than an hour, but as far I saw, from the camera work to the actors presentation and directing it is really one of those movies recommended for drive in movie cinemas. Behind enemy lines original was quite watchable movie, the sequel I did not see, but this one... will they go further with this devastating concept? Anyway if you want to see this movie better rent it first, because if you are serious movie admirer don't waste your time in the cinema or worse, don't buy it. For other kind of audience it is up to you.
residentecx Who can blame them?, is a failed attempt to make a mediocre action film, based on a successful franchise. Predictable, lousy visual effects and even worse performances by really mediocre actors. But that's not the worst. The worst thing is that I'm a member of the Colombian Armed Forces and that's an insult against every member of Colombian Army, Navy or Air Force; yet the introductory footage was pretty real years ago and the FARC is much worse in the real life, now Colombia is a safer place and very modern compared to the landscapes in this film.(same stupid Bogota footage in Mr. and Mrs. Smith) The military forces are strong and very successful in its war against a lot of enemies. Guerrila/jungle war is awfully worst than dessert or regular war. Isn't Vietnam enough to teach that to Hollywood? Colombia is a beautiful country entirely filled with good people.. we have our problems like every nation in the world, but is it responsible to make things appear worse than they really are? That's wrong even in a cheap mediocre film. But they don't make their homework, they don't have budget, they don't have good actors, they only had a camera and a Home-PC video editing software... Who can blame them?
