This action thriller is most certainly above average.  I do admit having Harrison Ford play the U.S. President is an odd casting choice...it leaves no doubt that he's gonna be right in the middle of that action, kicking butts and taking no prisoners...unfortunately, there's little surprise in that area as well.  Gary Oldman was a complete surprise as the leader of the terrorists hijacking Air Force One.  Oldman was wonderfully menacing throughout, showing us he was capable of anything, no matter how cold-blooded.  While I question the premise of someone actually managing to hijack Air Force One, I still very much like this film and watch it over and over again.  I did find it amusing that President Bill Clinton actually commented on the escape pod in the film.  Enjoy.
