  People forget that Owen Wilson did a good drama role as a Navy pilot in Behind Enemy Lines (2001). Forget the PC critics, this is a suspense action movie worth watching. An American family moving to Thailand (my guess) to make a new start. We take things for granted as Americans and expect to live overseas without difficulty or inconvenience. This movie shows how quickly political climate can change in a country, 17 hours to be exact; for the Dwyer family. A simple story line that must have gone deep into the critics psyche. A family fighting for their life, trying to escape an internal civil war or a revolution without social order or peaceful demonstrations. Jack Dwyer (Owen Wilson) leaves the hotel to grab a newspaper, and sees the storm gathering in the streets. His life and his families will change for the worse right before his eyes. He takes off like a fugitive for his life to save his family back at the hotel. Critics are crying about the lack of a plot, it is what it is; a family fighting for survival while death surrounds them. A stranger who shares a common language, reaches out to help them; Hammond (Pierce Brosnan) who knows the land and it's people. A dynamic role for him, he lights up the screen as a guardian angel of sorts. This movie delivers tension, action, life and death decisions that must be made, at a steady to fast pace. I haven't held my breath like this since the first Die Hard movie. A pleasant surprise in a sequel flashback summer of doldrums. It is rated R for a reason due to violence and blood, only those kids 16 and up should view this.
