"Air Force One"

Ok.....exhale, movie is over.  Air Force One is intense, violent, but enjoyable.  This is one of my lesser favorites in our collection, but it is entertaining at the least.  The story is fun but completely improbable, and I really get a kick out of the Godless communist bad guys.  It made me wonder where James Bond was when we needed him, he would have the bad guys wrapped up in about 3 minutes worth of film...(just have to wait until we get to the J's)  In the end, there is really not much that I can say about the film.  It is fun to watch, but not one that I would go out of my way to watch over and over like some of the other films that we own.

Okay, so I do love Harrison Ford. And I do like suspense. But there is a thing as too much suspense. And this movie just might fit into that category. Even when you think everything's ok, and the movie should end, something else happens! And I find myself holding my breath, once again, thinking, "Augh!" At this point in my life, I'm not sure I want to watch movies this suspenseful. Something else that bothers me is all the people who die, and the heavy use of guns. It's hard because even though it's a movie, it's very disturbing for me to see people killed. This is also why I have trouble with some Mel Gibson movies. Like Braveheart, which I'll have to watch soon enough.

Aside from the high body count, and a few cliche lines, if you like suspenseful movies, it's not a bad show. The actors are good, of course I love Harrison Ford, and the actresses who play his wife and daughter do a great job as well, and I really loved one of the air craft crewman, who was just so honest, trustworthy, and honorable. Of course he dies.
