Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
merelyaninnuendo Air Force OneThere are few tricks and turns installed in screenplay that holds the audience in its overlong runtime of more than 2 hours but prior to that, their barely resides a piece of craft to explore in it. Wolfgang Peterson; a critically acclaimed director, fails on all levels here and addition to that, dims the somewhat appreciable script written by Andrew W. Marlowe. Harrison Ford might be suitable to portray such character but he needed to work hard on it like his supporting actor Gary Oldman that completely overpowers him on screen. Air Force One is a mere action feature whose attempt to reach for something more and beyond its potential eventually turns itself being intangible to the set tone.
Leofwine_draca AIR FORCE ONE is one of the last wave of 'DIE HARD IN A...' Hollywood flicks inspired by the Bruce Willis blockbuster, although DIE HARD rip-offs would continue in B-movie cinema for years to come (and are still being made, in fact). This film has Harrison Ford's everyman US president tackling a gang of murderous Russian terrorists who have stormed Air Force One and are willing to sacrifice the hostages for their political ends. The film is dated and more than a little cheesy in some of the sentimental scenes (the black woman on the parachute is one of the most unintentionally hilarious scenes you'll find here) and the CGI effects haven't dated too well either. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it. Wolfgang Petersen brings some of the same claustrophobia as he mined in DAS BOOT and even manages to fit Jurgen Prochnow into a little role. Ford and Michael Douglas were my favourite Hollywood thriller stars of the 1980s and 1990s and Ford does well here as the tough yet believable character. There's plenty of suspense and action throughout and the latter scenes are well staged and exciting. Gary Oldman reprises his volatile villain role from LEON to strong effect and as a whole this is an entertaining package where you can just switch off and enjoy.
Sophia SkÃÂ¥ne This is from 1997 and I just now got the chance to see this on TV by accident.Wow, what utter tosh! I don't even know where to begin. Harrison Ford as president with Ninja skills, Glenn Close with ridiculous peroxide hair trying to sound serious? Nah, my favourite thing is that it - of course - is the evil, evil Russians who capture the president's plane, I mean, who ever else, right? We all know that Russia is oh so evil (and I mean really EVERYbody there, no exception) as the media constantly tells us. And of course the baddie's name is even Iwan - played by Gary Oldmn, who is as Russian as I am a nuclear scientist.So yeah, hail to the good old prejudice and please US movie makers, make another one with evil Russians, I just can't get enough Oo
unkadunk0801 IM not going to go through the whole story since by now everybody knows the story.And my only comment is the same one I make every time I see it and that is when Harrison Ford at the end of the fight with Gary Oldman says "Get Off My Plane!"I always add the words"You Son Of A Bitch!"because i am sure he would have said that if the writers had written that in!And indeed it would have gotten a lot of applause from the people who saw it in the movies.And I told that line to friends of mine who have seen the movie and they agreed that it would been a great line for Ford to say.Thanks so much for the pleasure you gave movie fans over the years
