Bush, which it wasn’t, so all the ending does is make things a big sloppy mess. We get a fictional president (Peter Coyote) and a few fictional advisors (one of them is designed to remind us of Condoleeza Rice, while others are strictly made-up), and for the most part, you wouldn’t even think to link this story to our real-life president were it not for the epilogue, which then sends viewers racing back in their memories to see if the movie was really trying to play Peter Coyote off as George W.

Factor in a screenplay that’s done its homework in terms of the modern history of the rogue nation, and maybe you’ve got yourselves an action film that’s smart enough to work as a cracking political thriller with timely issues. Talk about lucky timing: the direct-to-video sequel “Behind Enemy Lines II: Axis of Evil,” which deals with a nuclear North Korea, arrives on video store shelves a mere week after the nation announced to the world its success in testing a nuclear weapon.
