Air Force One Down

Sketchy and inane narrative.

Okay, it doesn't have Harrison Ford in the cast but it is still a fun thrill ride.

An action thriller that's as scant on imagination and logic as it is on budget, this tired movie at least has a promising hero, but it unfortunately betrays her by doing everything wrong.

The action sequences are actually fairly well done to momentarily distract from the nonsensical plotting. Not as fun as Ford’s, but better than the Butlers.

A feeble little piece trying unsuccessfully to act like a major action flick.... doesn’t exactly crash and burn, but it stalls badly in mid-air and makes a very rocky landing.

"'Air Force One Down' stalls during the middle act but ultimately finds it groove, choppy as the writing may be overall."

Unleashing one of the dumbest movies in awhile, James Bamford counters the current presidential field by introducing a young, virile POTUS able to almost single-handedly quash an enemy uprising.

Air Force One Down isn't a "good" movie by any measure, but it has its moments.

“Air Force One Down” didn’t need to leave the plane, and it noticeably collapses when it does, turning a passable bruiser using interesting surroundings into a visually bland thriller with low dramatic stakes.
