- syntheteMay 2, 2026It's essentially the same film as Air Force One, but it's everything that that film *isn't*. Extremely fun, with great cast chemistry. Russell and Berry sparkle as compelling leads, with Joe Morton and Platt playing charismatic secondaries that make the most of a propagandistic plot. As a bonus, it's kind of hilarious what this film does to Seagal.
- ZokkiieJanuary 21, 2026Just a solid but forgettable action flick. The plot’s fine—hijacked plane, military team to the rescue—but it never quite hits the mark. Killing off a certain actor early was a good call, honestly, because he wasn’t bringing much to the table. It’s fun enough for a one-time watch, but nothing you’ll remember
