One of the 'greatest' unintended comedies of all time. Holy Jheezhus! Not to be taken seriously. As Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman are my two favs actors, I expected a good movie, if not trite 'action' fare, but man o man, it is ridiculous. 1970's era special effects, terribly obvious green screens, stunts that violate the laws of physics....Should have been sponsored by Velveeta, the cheese factor is off the scale... from caricature bad guys to control panel display messages for the visually impaired, to the corny as hell 'narrative' radio messages, it is just a huge farce from beginning to end... lols-a-plenty for all!. Leslie Neilson would have been proud.

Air Force One is not a good film. It is just an alright film. The things that were not good about Air Force One is that the special effects looked horrible, unconvincing, unbelievable and looked like they did not even belong to the picture in the first place. I felt sick looking at them. The movie also lacked in breathlessness and in being spectacular and had a poor filmmaking quality feel to it. However, the movie was arguably redeemed by impressive performances from Ford, Oldman and Close, a strong emotional side to it and a flawless, sharp direction from Wolfgang Petersen. Moreover, Gary Oldman was an attractive and cold villain and by his behavior and actions managed to make me feel cold and feel hatred toward him. Well done on all of that. My rating: 6.2/10

"Air Force One" starts out with the president of the United States in Moscow signing a no nonsense pact with the Russian premier in regards to dealing with terrorists. Harrison Ford, portraying the role of the president, has to soon wonder about his dealings as a group of Russian neo-nationalists have managed to hijack the presidential plane with him, his family, and other members of the government aboard. These hijackers desire the release from a Russian prison one of their central leaders in a coup against the current Russian premier and his government. With some discharge of weapons aboard the plane, and a few hostages killed, the suspense builds to a tension-filled ride. Finally, the president manages to turn the tide in his favor, but the plane, which was severely crippled in various systems, now has to piloted for a possible landing. And then, a traitor on board plays what could be a final card in this suspenseful game.Harrison Ford plays the president, Gary Oldman the leader of the terrorists, and other members of the cast include Glenn Close as the Vice President on the ground, William H. Macy as staff, Wendy Crewson as the president's wife, and Dean Stockwell as Secretary of Defense. All in all, a very good movie to view.

No matter how many times I see this film, I am always on the edge of my seat. The tension of wondering if the president will be rescued is just a small part of it. It's hard to believe that my emotions are always the same; I guess this is what makes a good film.Every actor in this film makes me believe they are who they are portraying from the military officers to the "future postmaster general". The scenes between the president and his daughter -- well they are priceless! And the President and First Lady moments just make me want to put these two in the White House. I also like Glenn Close's version of the Vice President Bennet and her faith in President Marshall.
