Alain-20's rating
I love Harrison Ford movies, but this one wasn't particularly good. Basically, it's another one of those typical action movies, but in this one, the President is Rambo.
Sure, he gets emotional when his family is in danger, and sure he out thinks the bad guys more than he out powers them. But this movie is just a rehashing of other, better action movies, and the conclusion is pretty lame. Also, the special effects are terrible (The planes look like plastic models).
Finally, the supporting cast is OK, but not spectacular. Glen close looked like she didn't even believe herself spouting out lines like "Your president just gave you an order!" And I love Gary Oldman, but in this movie he's confusingly lame.

If you and your special one want to sit down on the couch and watch a movie just for the hell of it, pull up the popcorn and watch this one! All the acting is great, and the story-line is more meaningful than most of the stuff that comes out of Hollywood! It's nice to see that stuff like this is getting made. Kirk Douglas is an incredible actor, and even with the stroke, he works out nicely in his role.
Although the effects are what brought me into the theater, the story was top-notch. Also, the acting was very, very good. It is nice to see that Hollywood can make a summer film that has some value.
I will definitely own this movie when it comes out!
