Air Force One (1997)

Kinda funny how the president can speak Russian, snap a terrorist's neck like a twig, hack the electrical system of Air Force One and still need help sending a fax.

Generic, patriotic action movie where Han Solo has been elected president of Coruscant and murders Armenian terrorists on a plane, or something like that. It doesn't even matter. Air Force One isn't bad, just average. Textbook average. There isn't a single aspect of this film that can't be described as average except its averageness, which is an extraordinary kind of averageness usually only reserved for confectionaries of British origin. Two hours of Gary Oldman cashing a paycheque.

Air Force One is an undeniably enjoyable 90's action film. It's absolutely ridiculous and completely unrealistic but I always enjoy watching it. Its incredibly patriotic and dumb but somehow to his credit Harrison Ford makes it work. Gary Oldman isn't at his best though. The President of the US turns action hero and singlehandedly takes down terrorists who have hijacked Air Force One. It's hilarious how farcical this film really is. And the finale defies both logic and gravity. GET OFF MY PLANE!

Of the many Die Hard knock offs, this might be my favorite; crazy intense with lots of killer fight scenes and snooping around. Harrison Ford is perfectly cast and I dare say that as villainy goes Gary Oldman's crazy terrorist here would almost be able to go up against Hans Gruber. Real Americans love Air Force One.

Really great action movie brought down by a few ridiculous scenes and some really poor CGI. Oldman totally carries the film (naturally), and it's always nice to see Dean Stockwell getting work. It's over the top, and completely laughable as a serious movie plot, but it's a great simple movie that does what it sets out to do.

Harrison Ford for president! He's been Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Jack Ryan, and even John Book (Witness); now he's POTUS. The story is so implausible, the movie should be trash. But it works, it actually works! Oldman is slimey as always, and Close is believable as the veep. Great action!

It's a really silly film that tries to approach the president becoming a real life ass kicking hero as something serious to consider. It is played completely straight faced so there isn't even enough camp value to look back on fondly. It has some rather stupid plot devices and one liners. The effects are terrible even for '97.

A brainless film with a completely absurd plot. As an action movie, though, it's serviceable--doesn't waste too much time in the beginning before people start getting shot, keeps the tension up through one stupid turn of events after another, and finishes it all off with a massive explosion. Oldman is particularly fun to watch in this. And hot, also.

Serious misuse of Gary Oldman. And Harrison Ford, I guess. And Dean Stockwell - probably more so than Harrison Ford - but still, Harrison Ford could have done better. And William H. Macy and Jurgen Prochnow were in this? Man, you can barely tell. And - you know, this is exactly the kind of movie Harrison Ford should be making around that time in his career.

"Get off my plane!" A truly terrible movie, make no mistake, but if you're in the right, mindless mood, cheesy fun. REALLY cheesy. But mostly awful. Harrison Ford often has this befuddled look on his face as if to say, "What the fuck am I doing in this crappy movie??"

This really happened to Millard Fillmore. True story. I mean, they changed some of the facts, like the fact that Air Force One wasn't a 747 at the time, but the general plot remained the same.

Bad and one-dimensional? Yes. Is Ford a badass who could have successfully run for president after this? Absolutely. I think President Bush used this as his presidential ideal: watching a football game, not negotiating with terrorists, kicking their ass off his plane, then flying tethered to AFO just before it explodes - and there's no Congress to be found, thank God, and may He bless America.

Go back and watch it again, it's cheesier than you remember. Plus it ends like a half-hour after what seems like the logical closure point.
