Such a frustrating disappointment

Good movie but grossly overrated

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This film is abhorrent at best. The filming is nausea inducing shaky cam garbage for the majority of the film. The dialog and character development is a joke. This film isn't even on par with B budget action films of the 1980's. Do yourself a favor and take a fervent pass on this flotsam.

This film has absolutely nothing to compare with BEL1. Very unrealistic acting and shooting scenes. Being a great fan of BEL1, I must admit that I didn't get nothing in that taste from this movie.. Please just watch the opening tittles of BEL1 once more, breathtaking from first second to last one. (_______spoiler_______) from it's first minute its very easy to guess that there will be no operation at all and there are just conversations.. that escape with taxi was way too funny. And there definitely had to be another way to get lost (or broken) wireless communication device rather than donkey scene) the only positive thing for this film is those "fast cut" edits and transitions, but even there they go to overkill. i'm sorry.. it's real crap!Way better go watch original BEL once again instead.

You pick a DVD like this up off the 'discount rack' for 5.00 you don't expect much. But this was a surprisingly good little movie made on a shoestring budget that doesn't look it. I liked the original Behind the Lines well enough but this movie is just fine in its own right. The actors/soldiers are young and Hung-ho which you'd expect. The plot moves along and doesn't have every cliché you usually see coming a mile away. The action scenes with their jittery camera work are rapidly paced & well done in my view. The political side of the story looks professional and pretty believable. Having seen every great war movie there is many times over, I give this movie a solid thumbs up and definitely worth a look.

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.
