US satellites discover what seems to be nuclear missiles in North Korea. A team of Navy Seals are sent in to sabotage the missile base, but the mission is aborted at the last minute, but not before a group of Seals have already parachuted out of the plane and are trapped behind enemy lines in North Korea. Meanwhile, the president tries to find the right course of action to avoid the Korean War to be resumed.
Behind Enemy Lines 2 has an interesting premise and some good political intrigue. Its weakness is the bad action scenes. They are filmed with a shaky camera, apparently to give the scenes a more "realistic" feeling, but succeeding only in making them hard to follow, and often annoying to watch. Shaking the camera that much doesn't make the action scenes more exciting or suspenseful, just less watchable. And this visual style (shaky camera, spastic editing, occasional weird optic "effects") is used not only in action scenes but other scenes as well, especially in the first half of the movie. Halfway through the movie I was annoyed by the movie and thought it would only get a two star rating, but the story became more interesting in the last half, although the bad camerawork continued.
Weak three star rating, would have been much stronger in the hands of a competent director, cameraman and editor.

This movie is retarded. Here's a summary of the film. Evil North Korea atack America blah blah blah. Small American squad sent into Korea to save the day. As they're jumping out of the plane, the president changes his mind and cancels mission, but 4 troops have already jumped and are now on North Korean soil. Woops. They are ordered to lay low and wait, once America has done what it needs to do they will get picked up. So the 4 troops go into a village and get spotted by a boy and start a shoot out which gets two of them killed and the other two captured. What happened to laying low? Anyway, they are eventually saved by North Korean defectors or something and call their boss who calls the president who orders them to commplete their initial mission (make up your damn mind). Basically from here it's lots of shooting, horribly steriotypical Americans being ignorrant (so very very ignorrant), Americans being sympathetic while Koreans plug inocent bystanders mercilessly (because of course that's what it's really like *rollseyes*). This is a dreadful film that nobody could possibly like.
