Behind Enemy Lines (1986)

Alternate titles: P.O.W. the Escape (that's the title of the copy I watched); Attack Force 'Nam

A military detachment is assigned the task of rescuing American prisoners at a Vietnamese camp, just prior to the end of the hostilities. The mission faces a serious setback and its commander is made a prisoner at the same camp he had raided.

Action-packed yet basically absurd (like most of Cannon's films), this film's entertainment value lies precisely in those two qualities.

Rating: 36
