It may have been inspired by the adventures of Air Force pilot Scott O'Grady, who was rescued after being shot down over Bosnia in 1995, but based on real life, it's not.''Behind Enemy Lines,'' a taut wartime rescue thriller that sustains a relentless buzzing energy, feels very much of the moment, even though it is set in the Balkans and not in Afghanistan.Дirected by John Moore, from a screenplay by David Veloz and Zak Penn, it provides about as intense an immersion in military ambience as a Hollywood movie could hope to provide in just over 90 minutes. What I do not believe is that the enemies in this scene could not spot the American uniform in a pile of enemy corpses.Дo I need to tell you that the ending involves a montage of rueful grins, broad smiles, and meaningful little victorious nods, scored with upbeat rock music? No, probably not.ДЄnd of course we get shots of the characters and are told what happened to them after the story was over-as if this is based on real events. I smiled during the scene where Admiral Reigart is able to use heat-sensitive satellite imagery to look at high-res silhouettes of Burnett stretched out within feet of the enemy. The movie recycles the old howler where hundreds of rounds of ammo miss the hero, but all he has to do is aim and fire, and-pow! another bad guy jerks back, dead. How did this guy get through combat training? Must have been a social promotion to keep him with his age group.ДЄt times Burnett is pursued by the entire Serbian army, which fires at him with machine guns, rifles and tanks, of course never hitting him.

He walks past a truck of enemy troops, and then what does he do? Why, he removes the ski mask, revealing his distinctive blond hair, and then he turns back toward the truck so we can see his face, in case we didn't know who he was. He even wears a black ski mask covering his entire face. Consider the scene where Burnett substitutes uniforms with a Serbian fighter. First rule of not getting caught: No loud involuntary yells within the hearing of the enemy. He's only spotted in the first place because when his buddy is cornered, he's hiding safely but utters a loud involuntary yell and then starts to run up an exposed hillside.

What Burnett does do is stroll through Bosnia like a bird watcher, exposing himself in open areas and making himself a silhouette against the skyline.

The first-time director is John Moore, who has made lots of TV commercials, something we intuit in a scene where Reigart orders Burnett to proceed to another pick-up area, and Burnett visualizes fast-motion whooshing tracking shots up and down mountains and through valleys before deciding, uh-uh, he ain't gonna do that. Bet you a shiny new dime that when this movie plays in France, Admiral Piquet becomes an Italian. He wants to fly in and rescue Burnett, but is blocked by his NATO superior, Admiral Piquet (Joaquim de Almeida)-a Frenchman who is so devious he substitutes French NATO troops for Americans in a phony rescue mission, and calls them off just when Burnett is desperately waving from a pickup area. That sets up the cat-and-mouse game in which Burnett wanders through open fields, stands on the tops of ridges and stupidly makes himself a target, while Tracker is caught in one of those nightmares where he runs and runs but just can't seem to catch up.Д«ack on the USS Vinson, Admiral Reigart ( Gene Hackman) is biting his lower lip. Stackhouse is found by Tracker ( Vladimir Mashkov), who tells his commander Lokar ( Olek Krupa) to forget about a big pursuit and simply allow him to track Burnett. The plane's attempts to elude the missiles supply the movie's high point.
