Atrás das Linhas Inimigas 4: Missão África

"The boys in Washington cried wolf about this African yellowcake before and we both know how that turned out." When a small team of S.E.A.L.S uncover intelligence about a sale of weapons grade uranium they are taken by surprise. The team isn't prepared and has no support coming. With only 36 hours left before the deal takes place the team must use all their training and skills to make their way to the site and stop the transaction or the US will be in danger. I will say that I liked the first Behind Enemy Lines but wasn't all that impressed with the other two. This one was a struggle for me to get through. I wasn't expecting anything close to Act of Valor but when you make a movie about Navy S.E.A.L.S. you should at least try to make them S.E.A.L. like. The action was so bad it made the movie almost unwatchable. When you reach the 4th movie in a series that means you usually go one too many. For example...Indy 4 was the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Leprechaun was in space, Batman 4 was Batman and Robin and technically Star Wars 4 was the Phantom Menace...this movie joins that list as possible franchise killers. Overall, a movie that is hoping that the Behind Enemy Lines title is enough to carry it...it's not. I give this a C-.

I think as a viewer you can't honestly expect a blockbuster from a low end production studio. Given that frame of reference I find it amazing that director of photography went above and beyond. It was as if he or she poured their heart and soul into it and it shows. Yes the plot line is overused and yes there are elements in which you roll your eyes and yes dialogue is silly but behind all of that there is some good fun to be had in this movie.

Camera work (minus the usual hand-held) was spot on. We got to see elements of Africa in all of its beauty zebras and all.

I gave this movie a 5, even though I think it really deserves a 3 but it honestly tried. Was it not for silly dialogue and over the board trivialized gunfights and 9 gazillion bullets that never hit anything and the pointless explosions and yes even nudity... outside of all of that we have a flick that you can rent on a rainy day to enjoy.

We have become so spoiled by high production films that I actually do genuinely enjoy these college graduate movies and it felt like a college graduate's first movie. It was unpolished but it is a start.

I'm assuming this is what happens when a marginally okay director picks up a script from a special needs kid. It's not even a good idea for a charity project but what amazes me is how they got a halfway decent cast, and what seems to be a huge amount of funding and the backing of one of the largest Hollywood production studios all to produce this atrocity. Maybe Hollywood needs to stop for a moment and take a good look at itself. I am aware that there's "movies" out there that are worse, but non of them really irritated me like this one because they clearly had more resources than they deserve to make this pile of garbage.

I did not have any expectations when I first started to watch this movie, and I'm sure glad I didn't have any either, because this was not a movie that should have seen the light of day, the acting is really bad.

The supposedly SEALs does not act like I have a feeling SEALs should behave when they're taking fire and maneuvering. They just run around with guns blazing, killing tonnes and tonnes of bad guys. And guess what? The bad guys don't know how to shoot, at all. A little like Rambo, except it isn't.

The acting is really not that great, Tom Sizemore does not convince me, and brings little to the table. He's just walking around swearing a lot looking at a screen, and then he swears some more.

There was just one thing in the movie that made me happy, and that was a "Saving Private Ryan" reference, if you've seen that movie, you'll recognize it when you see it, if you actually decide to watch this.

Last but not least; This movie is FUBAR.

i have to say that this movie rocks! forget about the flaws of the screenplay, it's okay. you have to kowtow to these actors who played the tough roles of this small team infiltrated behind enemy line to do a mission absolutely impossible. the combat firefighting scenes one after another were excellent, the camera man followed the actors during the combat that made you feel that you were also following them doing the shootings, the dashing, the evasive zigzagging running. all these five actors who played the small navy seal team did quite a believable job. what the leading actor did in this film was quite amazing. when he fell down the staircase to escape the explosion, i really don't know how he or the stuntman did to avoid the continued falls and crushing down the stairs one after another. there were constant firefights, close combats that were performed and carried out like real, although these guys seemed to immune to the bullets and their ammunitions seemed never used up. but funny thing is that i have surprised myself to willingly accept such impossible ridicules. i rarely like such military crappy movies before, but this time, i quite enjoyed it and enjoyed greatly. the kamikaze style fighting scenes were simply too great to be picky. all the stunts did in this film were top-notched and professionally carried out in a perfect way.

by the way, there's obviously an editing error of the movie @ time frame 01:16:14 and then @ 01:16:23, @ the first one, he already got off the chopper, why @ the next he still sitting in chopper and talking, then jumped off the chopper again? the editor should be kicked on the shin to wake up.
