Executive Decision [1996]
ReviewsFairly slow hostage movie Review date: 2008-07-28 Rating: 6 out of 10 Not very much to shout about here - there's a small amount of heroics and a few gunfights, the tension isn't all that much but it has its moments. it does not stand the test of time Review date: 2008-02-26 Rating: 6 out of 10 This is a pre 9/11 plot of a grounp of terrorist trying to kill a lot of Americans with nerve agent. They highjacka plane a plan to detonate the bomb in USA airspace to help the spead of the gas. So the USA send " the best " to neutralize the threat. What follows is a series of incredible naivity by the terrorists and luck by the commandos with multiple near misses and last minute heart stopping solution. Is difficult to watch this withour saying " as if ! " , the remora aircraft is surely a joke and they don't even have masks ( how can you fit 10 people with guns in a fighter yet ?) ( how can you fit so many explosives and guns in a comercial aircraft ? ) Berry ,Suche and Rusell deliver ok performances and luckley seagal gets killed earlier on the film. This movie does not stand the test of time very well and has a wiff of 1990's action hero to it that makes it look very dated. Action at 30.000 ft Review date: 2007-09-29 Rating: 8 out of 10 Kurt Russell's character is called upon to help a group of US special forces thwart a hijacking. The plane is carrying biological weapons, due to be crashed onto an unsuspecting US city. Kurt and the team, led by Steven Segal, make a covert docking from a stealth plane (slightly unbelievable) and covertly prepare to take out the terrorists and save the day. Thankfully, Segal is killed early in the film to save us another Oscar nomination (not) and Kurt saves the day. Good film generally with a few holes here and there. Even Seagal acts well in this film Review date: 2007-07-01 Rating: 8 out of 10 A fun, tense, and exciting action/thriller with an excellent ensemble cast, headed by Kurt Russell and including Halle Berry, David Suchet, and John Leguizamo. Even Steven Seagal does a creditable job, mainly because this isn't a "Steven Seagal movie." His supporting role permits him to do what he does best (which isn't acting). He doesn't have to pretend to be witty, there's none of that awful smirking he does in a vain attempt to show emotion, the camera doesn't caress his body, and there's not one speech about how gol-dang *good* his character is. He even manages to enunciate his lines clearly! The plot might have seemed a little far-fetched when the movie was released, but not anymore. I'm not even much of an action film fan, but this one is really a lot of fun.
