Summary: Air Force One Takes Off!
Review: With a cartoon storyline that now seems pretty realistic, AIR FORCE ONE has a new life beyond DIE HARD in a plane. President Marshall (Harrison Ford) has offended some enemies with his statements on terrorism policy. The United States will not negotiate with terrorists. But, when terrorists lead by a Russian Gary Oldman attack the Prez' plane and threaten his wife and daughter, will he negotiate?AIR FORCE ONE pretends to be an important film, but at its heart it is a fun adventure with the most unlikely of heroes and simple understanding of political volleys. Some of the exchanges between the Vice President (GLENN CLOSE) and the Secretary of State (DEAN STOCKWELL) are nothing short of ridiculous. But screenwriter Andrew Marlowe (HOLLOW MAN) knows what button's to push to make this bird fly... and he also knows how to bring it down. The DVD has an okay transfer and a difficult to follow audio commentary by director Wolfgang Petersen (In the Line of Fire).

Summary: Kick butt - USA!
Review: This is definitely one of the good ol' us vs. them - good vs. evil story. Harrison Ford plays a different kind of US President (one that I would like to see in "real" life), a President that takes matters into his own hands and deals his own "justice" by kicking some serious ... and shooting the heck out of everything. Good action movie, great for a 4th of July party...

Summary: Great, caliber action movie
Review: Great movie. Lots of action, suspense, and a little humor.
Definetely good! Only problem: Harrison Ford is his best in his role but...THE PRESIDENT FIGHTING TERRORISTS? The President? Anyway, still good movie to rent or buy. I also saw Con Air and I think Air Force One is better.
Yes, Con Air was fun. The only problem: COn Air doesn't have that much action. Air Force One is awesome! Go buy it now!
(Also, Gary Oldman is great as a terrorist. Better than the Fifth Element.

Summary: Mr Kick-[butt]... President
Review: This is a highly entertaining film in which Harrison Ford plays an American president who puts his money where his mouth his. Russian dissidents who believe in the old order seize control of Air Force One, hoping that the hostages will force the Americans to persuade the Russian premier to release a prominent Russian soldier. Once released, the threat of another cold war can only be the blink of an eye away. While the White House ponders on how to deal with the situation, the president has remained on board Air Force One, determined to rescue the hostages. This is a very good fil, well-paced and well acted. The commentary by Wolfgand Peterson reveals many interesting facts about the film including the professionalism of Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman. My only complaint is about two sequences involving Air Force One - this is a personal thing. I hate action or stunt scenes which stretch credibility. The first scene, when Air Force One has just landed but the hijackers take off again is a little bit unbelievable. The second scene, at the end, is not only ridiculous and laughable, it is a very poor effect - looking as if the budget has just run out. Ironically, Wolfgang Peterson states that a lot of money was spent on this and he was impressed. Still, if you enjoy a good action film which is also an edge-of-the-seat thriller, this is a good choice.

Summary: Harrison Ford Fails, Flounders, and Falls.....What a Waste
Review: This silly farce may have worked if it had been promoted as satire. No matter. There was NO excuse for this doozy. Glenn Close as vice president is trying to maintain order after learning Soviet terrorists have hijacked the president's plane with his staff, wife and daughter aboard. Close's high octane drama was silly. If you didn't like Hillary, you'll hate Glenn. On Air Force One after the hijacker takeover, 'President' Harrison Ford issued some pretty sappy dialogue with his cookie cutter pretty little wife and daughter. The little girl's dippy words were an embarrassment. She sounded like a Pollyana Retard telling "daddy" not to worry, all would be all right. Ford's insipid marshmallow smile ("Oh, out of the mouths of babes")in return underscored the absurdity of the scene. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In "Star Wars", a Sci-Fi fantasy, using gangbuster-type special effects with macho fighter planes piloted by arrogant hot shot captains was acceptable....including exploitation of the audience's jingoistic allegiance to the overdone heros. In "Air Force One" the same approach was insulting. The finale too was insulting....and a joke. This skinny little man, President Harrison Ford, has somehow managed to save everyone else off his doomed airborne presidential plane (I'll let you rent the movie and learn how). Alone now, he has managed to attach himself to a cable between the doomed Air Force One and the attendant savior plane to save himself. This he does but it is not fun watching him blow in the wind in his little gray presidential suit, what..? 15,000 feet up, at 300/500 miles per hour? I don't know the coordinates. I've never had to consider that kind of thing before I saw this movie. Who wrote the script? Where was the director when the lines were delivered? Where have you gone, Harrison Ford - a seasoned, respected and sober actor, I assumed - that you could sell out for this shallow silliness and then pretend you are a genuine actor? A couple big names, an idiotic script/story line and overdone phony special effects with chauvinistic fighter planes exploding to the rescue to STP (Save the President) do not an intelligent movie make. Watch 'Air Force One' if you want to, but pretend it was meant to be satire only. In other words, avoid at least some of the insult.
