Summary: Good action movie...
Review: I thought this was a very enjoyable action movie.Something to watch when your having a boring friday evening.Has suspense and good scenes.I first thought that Steven Seagal would be an annoyance in this movie,but his character dies during the first 25 minutes.But they shouldn't have showed that when promoting the movie.It would have been a nice surprise. Still a good action movie.

Summary: GREAT sdbut by Baird!
Review: Editor Baird made a great debut in direction. Good acting, good cast, good scrit, good action-thriller. Russell is always amazing, nothing new here. But Seagal's name in the credits fools the public, because he dies in the first 20 minutes.

Summary: I COULDN'T RESIST CLAPPING AT THE END
Review: We see a lot of movies. I was beginning to lose faith in my movie picking abilities because rarely do I see anything that truly engrosses me. Until this movie. This movie, on DVD is great. The visual is fantastic and the sound, oh my God, the sound. The ending, unlike other movies, doesnt undermine the rest of the film but truly provides an amazing climax. I rented it tonight but will buy it tomorrow. I loved it and applauded at the ending.

Summary: A ROCK SOLID THRILLER
Review: Executive Decision is one of those rare action films that offers an intelligent plot and good characters while avoiding the lapses of violence and excess that are often typical of the genre. The makers of Executive Decision ensure that the movie does not degenerate into a story that revolves around one dominating ego. What makes Executive Decision a great movie is that it gives us an ensemble of characters who suddenly find themselves in a situation that forces them to be more than they ever thought possible. Kurt Russell, in a fine departure from past macho roles like Snake Plisken, is a deskbound analyst who unexpectedly finds himself coming up face to face with a terrorist whom he previously studied in the safety of his cubicle. John Leguizamo acquits himself well as the gung-ho Rat, who finds the burden of command thrust upon him, and learns that he must balance his desire to charge into the fray with patience and planning. Oliver Platt, as the engineer Cahill, perhaps finds himself witht the most daunting task, disarming the bomb under the guidance of the paralyzed Cappy (Joe Morton). The always lovely Halle Berry, as the stewardess Jean, also gives us the character of an ordinary person finding the courage to be brave in an extraordinary situation. David Suchet as the villain Nagi Hassan, plays his character with the proper level of creepy calculation. Arab-Americans have condemned Executive Decision as promoting stereotypes of Arabs as evil terrorists, but I do not think that the charge is warranted. When Nagi's right hand man realizes that Nagi's plan was not to free their leader but to make a suicidal bombing attack on the United States, he condemns Nagi, saying "This has nothing to do with Islam!" My only complaint with this film is having Kurt Russell's character, who is taking flying lessons at the beginning of the movie, land the jet airliner after the pilots are killed. I couldn't help but think of Robert Hays in Airplane with buckets of sweat pouring down his face while Robert Stack cajoles him from the tower and Lloyd Bridges declares that he picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue. Aside from this minor lapse into absurd excess, Executive Decision is an intelligent action thriller with a great cast. It is one of the most treasured movies in my video library.

Summary: No problem with movie, just DVD
Review: Hi, The movie is great, the DVD sucks! I don't have a lot of DVDs but I got this one home tonight and it looks like $h#t! From the opening credits, the text is jumpy, you see small blocks besides the lettering...is very awful. It almost looks like a VHS tape was used in the making of this DVD it's so bad. I cannot believe Warner Brothers would release such a pathetic copy of a great movie. One very disappointed customer! -Rick
