This is kinda terrible, plus I'm having trouble seeing how it has anything to do with the original 'Behind Enemy Lines' with Owen Wilson. They're not even remotely connected except maybe the tired premise. This is a WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) film and went straight to DVD (which seems appropriate) so that should give you an idea of the quality of plot etc.Non-stop action though which somehow makes up for the lack of script and bad acting. Tons of bullets whizzing about, explosions galore and a decent hand to hand fight scene towards the end with Joe Manganiello and Alvaro -the main bad guy who actually had a reasonable back story.This "stars" WWE superstar "Mr Kennedy" although he doesn't get much dialogue and is mostly background as SEAL #2 despite his face on the poster. The story follows him and Joe Manganiello as two of a squad of navy seals attending South American peace talks that explode into violence and murder, leaving the soldiers framed for the bloody events. Somehow they must rescue a hostage and clear their names.As a weird point of interest Keith David is Commander Scott in this, the guy fighting for their return back in the states -he was good, in the original David Keith played Master Chief Tom O'Malley back on the ship. Things that make you go hmmmm? 2/24/16

I completely agree with everything said in the negative reviews above (whether written by Colombians or not). Did Tackleberry direct all the action scenes ? Unlike some other American films, I was impressed they were able to spell Colombia properly in the title (check out Steven Segal's Above the Law), that's what my 1/10 star was for. This is one of those ridiculous films you put on in the background when you have your mates over for a few snacks/drinks. No need to have the sound on, you can work it all out from every 3rd or 4th scene. I found the scene where the guy is underwater swimming through the pipe quite amusing, what are all those weeds in there? Enjoy it if you can... I didn't.

Hey, I also liked Rambo when I was five! By then I didn't mind things like "some guys running crouched in the open, while 20 guys shoot at them, and every single bullet misses, suddenly one of the main characters turns and shoots without even looking and kills the guys that are under cover" would look stupid or not, I just enjoyed it (even though Rambo had cooler weapons); this probably means that five year old kids from today, along with people with the IQ of a five year old, will have fond memories of this film in the future (don't forget the parts where "I have to show you how oh so witty I am before I kill you, because even though you are gonna die in 5 seconds, you must listen to my clever pun"). Also, keep in mind that despite its low budget and cartoonish plot, this was an attempt to put a WWE guy in the big screen (they didn't let him talk too much so it would not show). So, after you pass through the idea of a director going to the WWE classroom and saying something like, hey kids, lets put on a play for your parents, what do you want to do, because I need to put something in my portfolio.. you are fine from there.

Well, I managed to watch this movie on HBO2 this morning, an it was totally like a COD deathmatch. I think the other reviewers are all Colombian, but hey, the Colombian army in this movie is a well organized, deadly force. Come on, the Seals marines are on the run in the whole movie. Now, there were words about bad acting, bad effects, bad filming technique, bad direction, bad dialogues. I must tell, that none of these are present. Acting: the three Seals are good. The dialogues have no problem at all. Alvaro, the enemy force leader is good as well. Effects: the explosions are not the best, but its OK. Weapons and Fight: They are all well done, All COD fans will have flashback. Highly recommended movie.
