Review of Executive Decision (1996) by Dann M — 13 Sep 2012

Executive Decision is a strong thriller that delivers an intense and compelling adventure. When Oceanic Flight 343 is hijacked by Islamic terrorist an elite Special Forces team is sent to covertly intercept the flight, and retake it before the terrorists crash it into Washington D.

C. The film has an impressive cast that includes Kurt Russell, Steven Seagal, Halle Berry, and John Leguizamo. Additionally, the action sequences are shot especially well, and the film is able to build and maintain a high level of suspense and intensity.

However, there are some problems with the directing, and some of the dialog comes off as stale and cliched. While there are flaws with the film, Executive Decision is a riveting action/adventure that's fun and exciting.
