Reviews
when it is served up with such pulpy panache, old-fashioned expertise and a hero so easy to root for
As the familiar cat-and-mouse plot unfolded, I let myself enjoy the unapologetic masculine thrills.
It's embarrassing to see [Ford] hanging by a thread ... behind his own 747. No image better fits the fragile state of his [career] at this point... he's losing his grip.
Unfortunately, as the film winds to a close, claustrophobic tension once again gives way to overblown digital effects and set pieces.
...it flies on and on until its power to hold us simply peters out.
Moments of silliness are more than balanced by Petersen’s extraordinary ability to keep this movie flight-worthy, Ford’s almost-executive presence and an outstanding performance from Oldman.
With any expectations of real-life adventure safely out of mind, you can relish 1997’s megahit "Air Force One" as one heck of a joy ride.
Non-action movie fans will enjoy it, patriots will enjoy it, and Harrison Ford fans will enjoy it
