nateshady I can't believe Steven Seagal died so early.. Why would he even agree to the part? Good actors though

Nadine Salakov I just did a review about how "Passenger 57" and "Red Eye" are the only decent aeroplane thrillers out there, but now i will add "Executive Decision" to that list. Aeroplane thrillers are very standard and it's always the same plot, but "Executive Decision" changes it up a bit by having the SWAT team be on the bottom part of the plane while having to deal with an active bomb. Kurt Russell does a good job in his role as well as the rest of the cast. The dialogue is okay, but has a lot of blasphemous words, as a Christian this is something that i can't stand about movies, if they have to swear then at least leave Jesus' name out of it."Executive Decision" is the type of movie that only needs to be watched once. It isn't as good as the films i mentioned earlier, but it's watchable.

moonspinner55 Arab terrorists hijack a 747 mid-flight after the United States has captured one of their leaders. More terror-in-the-skies hysteria, with the current state of international panic exploited by producer Joel Silver and groomed into rousing "family entertainment". It's really just a big-budget extension of those heavy-handed Golan-Globus movies from the 1980s ("The Delta Force", in particular). The cast is well-equipped to handle the terse situations, with Kurt Russell relatively convincing as an intelligence analyst who comes to the rescue. The only member of the team who doesn't quite jell is a curiously-placed Steven Seagal (playing a commando who is mostly used as a prop). Directing debut from veteran film-editor Stuart Baird, who ought to say a thousand mea culpas after this one, though the film did perform well at the box-office. ** from ****

phillies_baseball_fan This is a tremendous movie. Not a big Steven Seagal fan, and I'm glad he isn't the main character in this one. The rest of the cast is excellent. Kurt Russell is great and David Suchet is tremendous, in a most non Hercule Poirot role. Suchet is such a versatile actor, having played Middle Eastern, French, Belgian and English characters in his distinguished career.The movie is a bit long and drags in a few spots, but that just makes it all the more suspenseful. The supporting cast is very good, with Oliver Platt and Joe Morton shining. Much better than Passenger 57. Definitely recommend this movie. Worth watching and re- watching.
