Air Force One

You must know that you are in for a thrill when the director of one of the best films ever made, ”Das Boot”, is in charge. No one compares to Wolfgang Petersen when it comes to making superb films. ”Air Force One”, from beginning to end, is one frantic, tense action film.
Blending the action-gripping essence of ”Die Hard” and the claustrophobic intensity of Executive Decision, the resulting elixir is a potent mixture in the form of ”Air Force One”. Being such, it is a high-flying adventure that offers a lot of roller-coaster style excitement in this airborne suspense thriller.
Harrison Ford is utterly believable as he hides in various parts of the huge plane, shoots automatic weapons at the enemy when he has a chance, wrestles with the terrorists while hanging near an open hatch. A little humor (very little) is injected when Marshall throws one of the terrorists out the hatch, exclaiming, “Get off my plane.”
Yet, despite this generally, excitingly, executed storyline, you’ll find that the ending was somewhat of a letdown given all that had transpired as you question the motivations behind one of the main characters. Nonetheless, the fast-paced action, the fine all-around, performances, and the sheer enjoyment value of the film earned its wings. ”Air Force One” is an exciting film, great cast.
