Air Force One Is Down

Ionly saw this in my local sainsburys saying its a movie so when I found it for a pound in a charity shop I bought it.Now I don't normally review online but since its the 30th anniversary of Alistair Macleans death I felt like saying something.Boy oh boy what a disaster!For starters its not an Alistair Maclean novel its his plot written by John Denis.Alistair Maclean is my favourite thriller writer and I've read all 29 of his books but sadly the film versions are terrible.This one bears zero resemblance to the novel.The characters are so wooden woodpeckers could attack them!The action is fair but maybe its the idea that lets it down.A group of heroes with different abilities having to work as a team with a bit of comic relief is so 1980s.If it stuck to the book more and was made in the 1980s it might have worked better.

I thought this would be much better.

I saw that Jeremy sisco was in it and thought why not he is good in FBI I'll give it a go. He is ok in the show but a lot of the other actors are bad and really bad. Some of the scenes are really unbelievable with a lot of errors.

The character who plays Petrovic is constantly smoking cigars and will probably kill himself with lung cancer long before the good guys kill him. This is an ok show to fill a few hours and have a good laugh at bad acting and bad special effects.

Even Linda Hamilton acting has gone downhill.

Hopefully the book was better than the 2 part mini series.

This mini-series with two episodes is truly a very good movie, and customers will be well entertained when watching Air Force One Is Down. Personally, I find that it is one of the best balanced versions of action and a good storyline. You are moved all along through the plot, and it contains quite a few surprises along the way. One should not see such a film as though it was 'faithful to history' as one reviewer seemed to think. Rather the contrary, this is just great fun in a good setting. For an IT-nerd such as myself, it also asks some pretty good questions as to what is actually possible. I would therefore claim that anyone and everyone will find something valuable in watching this film. I warmly recommend it.

Not sure who gives a film crew money to make such an inconsistent, badly acted, hokey film. Nuff said, had high hopes, but they were dashed 10 minutes in.

Watchable, but some hideously bad acting from a couple (the blond Serbian woman was awful) and some really bad erroneous plot-points.
