Summary: Great plot and spectacular action
Review: At the surface, this movie could easily be dismissed as another mindless, violent product of modern Hollywood. A deeper look, however, reveals a well-written and highly unique motion picture.Harrison Ford is great as the President--strong, but compassionate, and not afraid to stand up for what he believes in, including backing up what he says with force if necessary. Granted, you have to look past some stretches of credibility in the script; then again, any truly great action/adventure movie stretches the imagination of the viewer. This film offers up an impressive volley of hidden plot twists, which will keep you guessing throughout the entire movie. Just when you think that everything is okay for Ford and the good guys, another event happens that places them in peril. This flick doesn't let up on the action until the very final moment of the movie. Speaking of the action, the special effects are very impressive, and easily compare to some of the best ever put on film. This is a great movie that will get your blood pumping, and you'll find yourself cheering out loud for the good guys.

Summary: Harrison Ford does it again.......
Review: Harrison Ford has got to have some of the best luck of any actor I've ever seen. He hits it big with Star Wars, then continues to make amazing movies with Indiana Jones, and now as President James Marshall. I mean, how many kids have dreamed of being Han Solo or Indiana, and now they have a new character to cheer on. I think this movie is so good because of the fear that this could actually happen. But the problem is that our president will probably not be a Congressional Medal of Honor recipiant despite the character Ford plays. But hey, that makes for a great plot. Who wants to see a wimpy president who can't defend his family and his co-workes when they could see somebody like Ford take out all those Russians?! The story, in case you haven't guessed, is about a group of Russian terrorists posed as news reporters taking over Air Force One. They do this because President Marshall, Ford, refuses to give into terrorists demands. But when they take his family hostage and demand Ford to release General Radick, (I didn't spell that right), he has very few decisions. There are many great twists in the plot, and the action scenes are some of the best I've seen. (I hear Ford told the lead Russian terrorist to actually hit him during filming to make it look realistic.) Now if that's true, that's one great idea for a movie! I don't see Arnold Schwarzenegger doing that! The music in this film is supurb, and it justs adds to the suspense. My one complaint is the dated special effects near the end, and considering they could've made them look as good as the effects in Jurassic Park, a film that came out four eyes prior to Air Force One, is kind of disappointing. But don't worry, this doesn't take away from the film. There are very few special effects shots, and they're not terrible, but just more video game like than I'd like to see. But what're you gonna do? So watch this movie, or you'll be missing a future classic. Enjoy........

Summary: High level movie
Review: Harrison Ford played the role of President of the United States very well. And he expressed solemnity as the President and humor as Harrison Ford. The story line is not as simple as it seemed at first sight. It is elaborated in great detail. This film is not showy but worthseeing. Thank you.

Summary: A Gripping, Exciting, Edge of your seat thriller
Review: "Air Force One" is a gripping, exciting, edge of your seat thriller, it hits cruising speed with it's first scene and it nevr slows down. Harrison Ford does a good job as the commander-in-chief, but it is Gary Oldman who steals the show, his performance as a determined russian terrorist is terrific. My only complaint about the movie is that it starts to become weak toward the ending, other than that I feel that this is a superb action thriller. The DVD is good also, while there aren't many extras the picture quality is excellent and the audio will blast you out of your seat.

Summary: "Air Force One. How in the hell did they get Air Force One?"
Review: I walked into the movie theatre expecting one of two things: Either a bore fest or a gore fest. I can now say I was more than than happy with the result. While bordom is nonexistant, the presence of blood is alive and kicking. Personally I believe that the movie does not contain more than a few segments of actual "gore". Each of these instances is easily anticipated, kept rather minimal, and does not last for more than a few seconds. The story line is both simple and complexly woven at the same time. After watching this action phenomenon you can rack you mind of your own family dedication. With wonderful acting (Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Glen Close, and Liesel Matthews), astounding special affects, and suspense thick enough to cut with a knife this film can easily become a personal favorite. My advice: A must see. Bring the family, but leave the any small children at home. Remember, you may want to check this film out first. There are scenes which can be debated over violence matters.

Summary: Boring film with medicore acting.
Review: Endless film clitches and wooden acting hamper this mid-1990's action film where Harrison Ford looks bored while playing the Commander in Cheif whose plane is hijacked by terrorists and he takes matters into his own hands. The vice president is played by Glenn Close whose performance is not any better. A film like the Die Hard movies, all style and no substance.

Summary: Film Gives Honor to Office of President of the United States
Review: Another great role for Harrison Ford: The President of the United States dealing with terrorists in a hostage crisis. This film shows that US Presidents are above the common man, they are special. Like Martin Sheen's portrayal in "West Wing", Ford gives honor to the office of President. Action packed and suspenseful, a first rate thriller!

Summary: Hokey special effects ruin a great story.
Review: I know that special effects are supposed to make a story better, but this is one case where they ruin the film to a certain extent. "Air Force One" contains a terrific storyline, along with a great cast of stars. Harrison Ford plays the President who, along with his family and Cabinet members, are beginning a return journey from Russia, where they have kidnapped the self=proclaimed leader of a small country on the brink of rebellion. Before take-off, a camera crew boards the plane, headed by Gary Oldman. Soon, the camera crew is revealed as being a group of terrorists who begin killing at random and hold the remaining survivors hostage in return for the release of their leader. Ford makes the president a true hero as he tries to stop the plane and the terrorists, and the story never stops moving as things unfold. However, the special effects are not believable in all places, and while the majority of the shots look honestly true, there is always something to give away the computer wizardry. This movie is a good movie, and I reccommend watching it on DVD instead of VHS for better experiencing of this film.

Summary: Edge of your seat action ride!
Review: There is a lot to like about the film "Airforce One". Fine acting by Harrison Ford as the U.S. President, and even better acting by Gary Oldman, as Khazakstani terrorist Egor Korshunov, draws you into the story of the hijacking of the presidential jet. I truly cared about the characters portrayed in this film, which is essential if you want to keep a viewer interested. If you're fortunate enough to have a decent home theatre setup with digital surround sound, then you're in for an aural treat with this one. Frequent gunfire , huge explosions, and numerous jetfighter sequences, will shake your house and keep the excitement racing. I've watched the film twice in the past week, with different family members, and everyone has enjoyed the experience. While some might criticise the unbelievability of certain story elements, I don't think a movie of this kind is meant to be taken too seriously. As an action film, "Airforce One" succeeds in almost every department. For fans of suspense filled action movies, they don't come much better than this - enjoy!

Summary: A Very Entertaining Movie!
Review: This is a good movie from start to finish. Harrison Ford plays the hero role to the limit. Gary Oldman plays an absolutely mean and scary villain. He shows no remorse about shooting an unarmed hostage or using violence. The plot of this movie is outstanding. The idea that these Russian thugs could use the disguise of journalists was unique. Evev the secret service agent who goes bad is portrayed as being wormy. The ending makes Harrison Ford out to be a hero. A very good movie.
