Summary: Die Hard Remake!!!!!!!!!
Review: Harrison Ford has always & will be one of my favorite actors,but this film is not him, I mean could terrorist actually hijack Air Force One??, & if so, wouldn't the Secret Service take out half if not all of them??? this film makes the Secret Service look like idiots, I mean coming from the director of "In the line of fire" you would think they would at least kick a**, but they are taken out very quickly, & Ford who is the president has to fend for his self,this film is disturbing in that it comes off as a way to make the viewer think that Ford is one president who can take on terrorist by his self, despite that his wife & daughter are being held hostage, Glenn Close realisticly portrays the Vice President, but comes off as a reluctant leader, the only one who is the most convincing is Gary Oldman who gives a chilling performance as the lead terrorist who has an agenda & will kill without hesitation, Ford does his best with what he has to work with, but his president is tooo perfect, which makes this film unrealistic, there has never been a perfect president, & I not sure there will ever be, what is even more disturbing is that this film borrows to heavily on the first DIE HARD, I know many films have tried to repeat the success of DIE HARD, but this one does way toooo much, not a bad film, just a worn out concept & certainly not Ford's best work.

Summary: Entertaining, but in the wrong way
Review: This movie was very, very entertaning the first time. Lots of action, tense, and plenty of good gunplay. Then I watched it a 2nd time, and couldn't stop laughing at the corniness, unrealism, and movie-ruining scenes. You all know the plot, yadda yadda, Harrison Ford plays a Medal of Honor-winning president, he gets hijacked, saves the day. Ford has a whole heckuva lot of good movies, but this is not one of them. Let me go over several parts of the movie which annoy me or make me guffaw: --The "escape pod". This is not Star Wars, nor is it Apollo 13. Air Force One does not have an escape pod!!! Or was that just an excuse for the director to have a corny scene where a bunch of soldiers get to open the pod and look at each other in silly disbelief that he's not on board? There's another corny scene where Air Force One lands, keeps rolling, then takes off again. You get to see another corny scene where about 500 soldiers are on the tarmac staring off into space like a bunch of helpless morons. --The parachuting scene. The whole movie was dragged down at least two stars by the part where you see the fat, giggly secretary parachuting in the darkness down to the ocean with a stupid grin on her face. Haha, hope she keeps her feet and knees together when she hits the water! SPLASH. And why would they have the nice square parachutes in Air Force one? --The explosion of the refueling plane. TOTALLY unrealistic. Why were sparks generated between the aluminum-on-aluminum contact of the two planes in the first place? Refueling planes are designed for rough handling, and that would NEVER happen. --Glenn close as the crybaby vice president. --Don't you think all the bullets flying would, at some point, cause the plane to depressurize and crash? Actually, there's more. The script is generally cheesy, and the terrorists are completely fake. They seem a little too clean and educated, if you ask me. Anyhow, watch it, enjoy it for what it is, but don't buy it or rent it.

Summary: Absolutely stupid,boring film.
Review: Compared to '97's other action smashes Con Air and Tommorow Never Dies , this meandering nonsense is the definable example of studio overbearing.It's slightly better than Face/Off maybe,but it still very poor.The action itself is slow moving and uninvolving,and nothing that hasn't been done ten times better and to more exciting effect in earlier highjack features like Passenger 57 and Under Siege.Harrison Ford is nauseatingly mundane,routine in his leading man role,doing the usual mumbling act he's done in previous action roles.He's showing his age really badly too (but he still should have got the role as Jack Ryan in The Sum of All Fears instead of Ben Affleck,dagnammit!)Meanwhile,Gary Oldman is laughably OTT as the rashan terrorist ,while Glen Close and William H. Macy are totally wasted in their roles.The story itself is completely unbelievable and insults the viewer's intelligence beyond breaking point.For one example out of many others,in one scene,Ford uses a mobile phone to make contact with Close and we all know that in real life,this would cause the plane to crash.And towards the end,it doesn't half drag on like anything,just when I thought this dire mess was coming to and end,it just went on more and more until I was close to just turning it off and walking out.For an impressive instance of Ford's action man status,check out his turns as Jack Ryan in Clear and Present Danger and Patriot Games.And sign a petition to get him as the lead in the new film,not Aptless Affleck.

Summary: An utterly awful film.
Review: This movie never really appealled to me when it first came out a while back. I thought it would be an alarmingly patriotic and gung-ho affair with little thought for anyone outside of the US, with the amount of disbelief needing to be suspended astronomical. Having only recently seen it on terrestrial television, I can say that I was absolutely right. Harrison Ford plays the President with his usual rigid sub-Schwarzenneger style, utterly emotionless and unbelievable as always. Glenn Close hams along as a cringe-inducingly patriotic vice president, with some of the most cliched and predictable lines ever. Gary Oldman is a little better, but still plays a stereotypical hollywood villian who engages in just about every deadly sin possible in this movie. Wolfgang Petersen fails to engage the watcher or bring about any of the sweaty claustrophobia present in his previous epic, Das Boot. Even In The Line Of Fire questioned the all-American dream and morals, partly because of the presence of the brilliant John Malkovich. This film doesn't. At all. To say that I'm not a fan of action movies would be incorrect. I've just never seen a good one. This was no exception.

Summary: I don't like action movies, but. . .
Review: . . .I liked this one. Of course this is the president we'd all like to have, a loving father, a stunning fighter, and great one-liners for any life threatening situation. This movie was suspense from beginning to the end, and chances are you already know that, cause who likes action has seen this film.

Summary: Would make anyone proud ...
Review: ... to be an American! (No matter where you're from.) Terrorists hijack Air Force One. Harrison Ford is President. Take it from there. A well-paced thriller, with characters - good and bad - having more than one dimension. Moments of ruthless cruelty - and moments of extraordinary courage and valor.

Summary: It's your turn to be affraid!
Review: This movie was Awsome! The casting for this movie was among the best i'have ever seen. Harrison Ford along with Gary Oldman and Liesel Matthews(who by the way is a beautiful girl) made for a great movie. The action was great and the plane set was extremely detailed. Wolfgang Peterson (the director) made sure to include every detail, he and the rest of the crew did an excellent job. I would recommend this movie to all audiences..Great MOVIE!!!!

Summary: We do not negotiate with Terrorists! Now Get Of My Plane!
Review: Movie Summary: The President has just laid down a strict antiterrorism policy in a speech in the former Soviet Union. He then boards Air Force One and starts the flight home. Once in the air, a group of Russian terrorists disguised as a news crew takes over the plane. They are brutal and do not hesitate when it comes to having to kill a hostage to make a point. The President must put his new policy into practice and fight to regain control of Air Force One. My Opinion: This is a kick butt action classic. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Sure there is a little of suspension of disbelief required but this is entertainment, not a documentary. Harrison Ford is terrific as the fighting President. He is a great action hero and proves it here again. The entire cast does a terrific job of pulling this movie off. The action scenes and special effects are truly awesome. DVD Quality: Widescreen anamorphic and full screen. DD 5.1 Commentary and Trailers. This is pretty much a bare bones DVD. What You Should Do: See it. Buy, Borrow, or Rent but see it any way you can!

Summary: One of the best action films out there!
Review: Harrison Ford plays the President of the United States and does a great job at it. I have watched this movie too many times to count. This is one of those movies that have you cheering for the President. It's about time someone made a movie where the President stands up for himself instead of someone always trying to save him. Gary Oldman does a fantastic job as the terrorist. He really makes you believe that his cause is the right cause. Some scenes did remind me of Die Hard, but if you liked Die Hard you will love this movie. My wife was watching the movie with me and kept digging her hand into my arm! She really gets into the movie more than I. Overall, the DVD sound and picture is excellent. This is definitely a buy not a rental!
