(1996) Behind Enemy Lines
ACTION/ WAR
If I am judging this as an action movie, it's okay for it to be seen once, and that is basically it. You can tell, the director attempted to imitate John Woo's "gun-fu classics such as "Bullet in the Head", "Hardboild" and "The Killer movies to name a few and with mediocre success. The set up has a couple of marines of Mikey (Thomas Ian Griffith) and Jonesy (Chris Mulkey) infiltrating the selling of 'nuclear triggers' away from the hands of the Vietnamese army led by General Nguy (Spanky Manikan). And upon their escape, Mikey had to leave his friend, Jonesy behind as well as abandon the suit case that contain the nuclear triggers underwater. The movie then jumps one year later, and Mike is attempting to run a boat business along with his protege's of Donny (Maury Sterling), Luther (Mushond Lee) and Church (Courtney Gains), who we learn are also marines. And by the time, his superior shows up, he is then shown a photo that shows that his friend Jonesy is still alive and may be captured by Gen. Nguy and his army, locked in the Lwong Li prison. And upon Mikey's arrival, it is not long before he is framed and then tortured by Gen. Nguy and his army in regarding the whereabouts of the nuclear triggers. And it is their he meets Jonesy along with other captives. At this point, is when Mike's sister. Kat (Hillary Matthews) shows up looking for him, and as soon as they all find out he is in a Vietnamese prison camp, they all decide to travel there and free him, coming along with them is colonel Wolf (Mark Carlton) to whom they butt heads with.
