Review of Air Force One

This is a great action film. It goes straight into the storyline and just keeps going. Ford gives one of his usual powerful portrayals. Gary Oldman as well gives a very convincing and terrifying performance. The one weak point I would say is Glenn Close's role. I personally thought that she would have a huge involvement in the story after seeing trailers etc. but I found her character to be rather uninvolved in the film.

Even as an "overseas" viewer, i.e. non-American, I found it to be not too "slushy American self gratifying backslapping". (for the perfect example of this, see the Kevin Kline's Presidential speech in "Independence Day")

All in all, a very enjoyable action romp.
