Owen Wilson is fantastic and the suspense throughout is solid for a thriller war movie

Another Great War movie and has strong character development and story line.

A rare serious movie from Owen Wilson which he totally pulls off. Its a great Survival, Action movie. Really worth a watch

pretty solid 2000s war thriller(Average doesn’t mean bad)Average plot antagonist action.Rest good quality but man that direction was GREAT.

Rewatched this and liked it much more now that I’m older. Full of action and suspense. Top tier for a modern war film!

Unrealistic and overly patriotic, but an entertaining film nonetheless.

Good action movie for Gene Hackman fans. It’s good for a first watch.

Slow to start but really enjoyed this and defiantly would watch again

Was pretty good a little dated now. Fast paced, engaging, enthralling. Hackman as always, strong performance Owen Wilson played a good star.

Haven’t seen it in 15 years but I remember it being a great thriller
