Critic Reviews:

• " With director [John] Moore's blue-gray pallor over most of the film tinged with intermittent splashes of color and [Martin] Smith's music-video style editing, Behind Enemy Lines explodes into an anthem for the U.S. and our servicemen and women. " – Debbie Lynn Elias

• " A satisfying enough piece of giddy-up entertainment that raises a few passing questions about the American ‘cowboy mentality’ before ultimately deciding it's a lot more fun to simply eat your action movie cake than try to have it too. " – Brent Simon

• " An old-fashioned game of the cinematic cat-and-mouse, soldier-on-the-run variety. " – Michael O'Sullivan
