Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
nateshady I can't believe Steven Seagal died so early.. Why would he even agree to the part? Good actors though
Apostante I saw this movie at the cinema back in 1996 and i've always considered it one of the best action movies ever.It reminds me a bit of Die Hard, but in a plane. The situation with the terrorists on board, their demands, the bomb, the political consequences, whether to shoot down the plane or not, the special ops team ready to engage, all of it mixed end up in a very thrilling and exciting movie, with the right amount of action, just like it was back in the 90's. I really miss more movies like this today.
blaisecolaso The plot and story of the movie can be narrated in one line like hijacking and then rescuing. But my word! the ingredients and flavors added to this one line plot are absolutely breathtaking.I watched this movie on TV. I was just going through all the channels and only by chance I tuned in to this one. From the moment I started watching it I never left my seat. It is that thrilling. The suspense in the movie is one of the best I have ever seen. Full credit to the director. I have watched many other hijack movies like The Air Force One, Con Air....many I forgotten the name also but "Executive Decision" is cut above the rest. Last but not the least, the end of the movie could have been better. Should have given more credit to the commandos and the landing of the flight could have been shown on the main airport. Thank you for reading.
Python Hyena Executive Decision (1996): Dir: Stuart Baird / Cast: Kurt Russell, Halle Berry, Steven Seagal, Joe Morton, Oliver Platt: Recycled terrorist hijack plot about high-pressure thinking. The screenwriter didn't do much high-pressure thinking because the screenplay contains nearly every clichés in the book. Steven Seagal leads a mission to find a deadly toxic nerve gas, which is not in the intended location. Islams wish to use it as a bargaining chip to free a leader and they are loading it onto an American 747. Once hostages are taken then a second mission goes into action. Director Stuart Baird is backed by a fine production but the story is completely recycled offering only an early dispatched Seagal, which likely shocked the living crap out of audiences everywhere. Kurt Russell is playing a role that has been portrayed by numerous actors and he follows through to the disarming of the bomb and disconnecting the right wire. Halle Berry is the best casting as a stewardess who is thrown into action when she becomes the only connection to Russell and his team. She will play the damsel just so the clichés aren't completely ignored. Seagal is dispatched surprisingly quick and isn't particularly missed. Joe Morton plays an injured crew who should have went out when Seagal did. Oliver Platt appears and is greatly underused. The screenplay needed an executive decision that rendered it several re-writes. Score: 2 / 10
