En Territoire Ennemi: Mission Colombie

Navy SEAL team 7 is in Colombia to battle the FARC and the drug cartels. Lt. Macklin (Joe Manganiello) leads his men to a compound deep in the jungle. There they find a peace conference between FARC and government troops. Suddenly mysterious forces attack the conference and the SEALs. The SEALs are framed for the whole incident.

The action is much better the BEL 2. They've got rid of all that horrific cheesy effects. It's a much better looking movie. Joe Manganiello is a good lead actor. They have a pretty good movie going when they get to the compound.

The story is questionable. The whole conspiracy is questionable. But how 2 guys with barely functional language skills could take on so much is too unreasonable. One bad guy asked if he thinks he's Rambo. The guy comes back saying he's more John McClane. No! This is full on Rambo.

Well, This movie have some good details about marks in uniforms but no more... I was in Colombian Army in 1992 and still respecting the FAC, not FARC, maybe our soldiers are bravest in the world, fighting the oldest guerrilla in the world, sure we have corruption as every country, but this movie gets a lot of mistakes, as Disney movies, handle the reality for ignorant audiences who think after the movie that was a real history (Disney put El Dorado in Mexico, not in Colombia as it really is)... If you really want to know about our conflict, don't see American movies, watch our news, not European news... Colombia it's so beautiful and if you watch movies like that, could think that the whole territory it's a battlefield, a jungle. See this movie just for entertain you some weekend but don't see it as a documentary.

This is such an exploitive, dishonest, impossible film that I am ashamed of wasting my time on it. But I feel cheated. A child might feel some excitement from all the action scenes but no parent should let their children be exposed to this crap. Gratuitous violence is the least of it. Physically impossible events put a lie to scientific fact that can warp reality. But it is not presented as a fantasy or "what if" joy ride but as events occurring in a real world. A total waste of time at the very least.

COLOMBIA is the third of the BEHIND ENEMY LINES film series and a definite step up from the godawful mess that was BEHIND ENEMY LINES II: AXIS OF EVIL, although that's not to say it's a good film. It's still below par for the most part, but at least veteran actor/director Tim Matheson knows how to shoot his film properly, without all of that annoying shaky camera stuff that ruined the last instalment.

The plot is a simplistic skeleton on which to hang a framework of low rent, high firepower action sequences. Expect one shootout after another here, along with some cheesy camaraderie and macho heroics. A SEAL team is sent to Colombia to sort out some FARC terrorists, only to find themselves framed and betrayed, and forced to fight their way out.

COLOMBIA benefits from a star-studded cast incorporating the likes of Keith David, Steven Bauer, Matheson himself, and Yancey Arias. The lead roles are taken by the tall and wooden Joe Manganiello and wrestler Ken Anderson, which gives you some idea of the level of acting talent here. Like many recent American B-movies set in South America, this one was filmed in Puerto Rico. I also noticed it was made made by WWE Studios, which explains the presence of the wrestler.

Where do I start? When the movie first started, I wondered if there were a problem with the image quality and with the way it was filmed ! This is the same quality of a cheap porn. Did they use the same camera ?

Secondly, to reinforce this image of a cheap porn, the actors/actresses's acting skills are very poor and they all look like porn actor/actresses: male all bodybuilded on steroid, female all bimbo !

Add to that the very poor special effect (explosion made by my little brother, no real stunts (green screen), no military expertise...) ... This movie is very disappointing ! I don't mind bad acting in a "action/navy seal movie" but this is quite bad and I expect at least credible explosion !

Oh and did I mention the massive clichés...this movie is so stereotypical and predictable

Playing Ghost Squad or Rainbow 6 on your xbox is more realistic ... I put a 2 because I saw worse ..
