Exciting! Exciting! Exciting! (by jhaggardjr) |
"Air Force One" is an action picture so full of excitement that it had me on the edge of my seat when I first saw it on the big screen back in 1997. This movie is one heck of a ride. Harrison Ford gives one of the best performances of his career as one U.S. President not to mess with. There are also terrific performances turned in by Glenn Close as the Vice President who deals with the terrorist's demands, and Gary Oldman in a scary piece of acting as the lead terrorist. The other actors in the movie do a good job also. In addition to the performances, there are two other big <more> |
A Great Thriller! (by g-bodyl) |
Air Force One is a very good thriller. The action and suspense will be nothing to forget. This movie is about the President's plane, Air Force One being hijacked by Russian nationalists with the President on board. Now it's up to the President and the Vice-President to negotiate with the terrorists or the hostages will die. The acting in this film is pretty good. Harrison Ford did justice with his outstanding performance as the President. Gary Oldman is good as the evil terrorist. The music in this film is fabulous and patriotic considering that the score took two weeks by Jerry <more> |
Excellently acted & portrayed. Slightly futuristic but believable. (by bobperlman) |
A1 acting and casting. Story-line excellent but slightly unbelievable as to the "special effects", such as the escape capsule. Highly rated, nonetheless. Harrison Ford, as per his norm, does a magnificent and highly believable job in his portrayal of the President - Some day we might have a president that is so action-oriented - but I doubt if we would in my lifetime. |
The Best Victory Against Terrorists ! (by fernandez_1989) |
This movie shows with total realism the heroism of a band of American people when their plane is high-jacked by terrorists. Harrison Ford plays the US President and he is not going to make things easy for terrorists- that's for sure. In my country we see Harrison Ford as a true American hero. He rocks in every movie.The great storyline and wonderful acting of a great cast full of amazing American actors will make you enjoy this superb production that has everything.Good drama and spontaneous signs of patriotism, together with a powerful script and unexpected ending. This movie shows a lot <more> |
Pure action (by Xophianic) |
Why can't our president kick this much ***? Air Force One seemed like a pure action movie to me. And I loved it. Some parts could have been a little more believeable, but it was still very fun and entertaining.The acting in this movie was good. Harrison Ford, as always, did an excellent job as the star of this movie. Gary Oldman, the greatest movie bad guy of all time, did not disappoint. It was cool to see Glenn Close as the vice president, keeping the blood-sucking politicians at bay. Another great performance, although not given enough credit, is from William H. Macy, who is one of my <more> |
Pure Adrenaline Rush! (by moviesleuth2) |
Granted, the premise is not even remotely plausible, but then again, can you name an action movie that is realistic? I can't. By nature, action movies are over-the-top, but it's the director's job to make sure that the audience believes what is happening on screen is real. Peter Jackson did it for "Lord of the Rings," and Wolfgang Peterson does it for "Air Force One." President James Marshall Harrison Ford has just announced that the United States will not negotiate with terrorists after capturing a renegade Kazakhstani general. He's soon going to find <more> |
Great adventure (by bat-5) |
Air Force One is one great ride. What makes it work so well is the conviction that Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman bring to their roles. You can see in each actor's eyes that they stand behind what they believe in. Gary Oldman makes a perfect villian and a very complex one at that. He is not just an average, run of the mill madman. He has a family, he is someone's son and those facts make him that much more real. Harrison Ford is great as the president. He's strong, quick witted, and will do anything he can to save his family and staff from the hijackers. A good ride that will keep <more> |
Will the real president please stand up? (by departed07) |
I know what you're thinking, "What the hell is he saying?" It's true that we've had so many biographies about presidents in which some of the movies told about historic incidents, why not have a fictional president that could kick ass and take names? Harrison Ford is the man for the job."Air Force One" is a thriller that involves Russian terrorist Ivan Korshunov Gary Oldman and his gang of criminals hijacking the first plane along with the president's wife and child and his staff. Meanwhile, President James Marshall Harrison Ford is hiding after an <more> |
Good action adventure epic soars through the sky. (by Aaron1375) |
The movies plot itself is highly improbable, and there are a lot of factual errors, but do you want a documentary or do ya want to see a cool action movie featuring a butt kicking president played by the guy who did Han Solo? What we have here are some terrorist from Russia I think why are terrorist from countries that don't actually have gripes with us in the movies taking over air force one with president and family in tow. Of course, the president does not get captured, but instead eludes the terrorist and complicates matters for them as he frees some of the hostages and instead of <more> |
