Review of Executive Decision (1996) by Jay L — 23 May 2011

"Call the President, it's an EXECUTIVE DECISION now.".

An all-out hardboiled blast of full-throttle, high-flying and off-the-wall jackhammer action from Director Stuart Baird (U.S. Marshall's) A flat-out pulse-busting beast, a nonstop high altitude thrill ride that doesn't put down the landing gear for one second. It's Air Force One without the President Of The United States. Executive Decision is an all-out, off-the-wall and hardhitting knockout of nerve-searing intensity. Great mid 90's entertainment that features excellent special effects, spectacularly realistic action sequences and plenty of blood, bullets and violence to go around for 2 films. A jumbo-jet of an action film, a thrilling piece of hardcore action and expert craftmanship from Stuart Baird and company.

It features a great cast with multiple talents, including great acting from Kurt Russell, Halle Berry, John Leguizamo and Oliver Platt. It's David Suchet who stole the show in this one, a truly remarkably disturbing performance. Great acting, astonishing action and nonstop entertainment throughout. Great action film.
