Behind Enemy Lines : Colombia (2009)

Synopsis:
Colombia is in chaos, caught in a bitter war between its government and insurgent guerillas. A team of U.S. Navy SEALS is sent on a secret mission to observe a meeting between the factions and ensure peace is the end result. But when the meeting is attacked and the leaders of both sides are murdered, the SEALS are framed for the assault. Abandoned by their own government and trapped behind enemy lines, the group must survive long enough to find evidence of their innocence and prevent the brutal war from spilling over the border.

Review: If you're looking for a way to kill an hour-and-a-half with some mindless entertainment, this isn't a bad way to spend that time. The best comparison to this would be a Rambo movie but instead of working solo, Mr. Kennedy has a partner to help him take out an elite fighting unit. From a film-making perspective, this is the best WWE film made so far, but I have to admit that I enjoyed The Condemned more. Although that might possibly be due to seeing that movie in the theaters, an experience I enjoy better than watching a DVD.
