Why so much hype?
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
'Executive Decision' is the kind of fun you're likely to forget, considering its disposable entertainment. And that's exactly you should watch or revisit this 1996 box-office success!'Executive Decision' Synopsis: When terrorists seize control of an airliner, an intelligence analyst accompanies a commando unit for a midair boarding operation.'Executive Decision' is interesting & engrossing, even though its overlong & even messy at times. The narrative is well-paced & some of the twists, actually work on its advantage. At 133-minutes, this action-thriller scores higher pluses, than on minuses.The Screenplay Written by Jim Thomas & John Thomas, is fast-paced & keeps the goings- on tight, although it drags after a point. Stuart Baird's Direction is excellent. Cinematography is well-done. Editing is mostly crisp. Art & Costume Design are good. Action-Sequences are passable.Performance-Wise: Kurt Russell leads the show, with a heroic performance. Steven Seagal has a small role, but he does well in his bit. Halle Berry looks gorgeous as ever & is decent. David Suchet is superb as the antagonist. His performance stands out. John Leguizamo, Oliver Platt & The Late/Great J. T. Walsh, lend credible support.On the whole, 'Executive Decision' is full entertainment!
"Executive Decision" is an action movie in which terrorist hijacked an airplane and a group of commandos are trying to take control of the airplane and to land it safely.First of all about the plot I have to admit that it was not something extraordinary and new since I have watched also some other movies with the same script. Apart from that, this movie changed when the commandos were on the plane. At that moment everything changed and this movie became more interesting and had more suspense. I liked the interpretation of Kurt Russell who played as Dr. David Grant and he was simply amazing. Halle Berry played also very well and David Suchet who played as Nagi Hassan was very good.To sum up I have to say that "Executive Decision" is a good movie to spend your time but do not have high expectations. I suggest you to watch the trailer of the movie and read some reviews and then decide whether or not to watch it.
What does Kurt Russell have in common with Tom Cruise? Give up? That one expression stupid tongue between teeth dumbbell smirk.Extremely boring 'action' film which is 90% close-ups of wires stretching, pulleys rolling, compartment doors sliding.... zzzzzzzzz -- oh, sorry! What were we talking about?...... huh?...... executive decision? What's that?.... oh, the movie, yeah...... um..... well..... can we talk about something more interesting like what flavor pop tart I had this morning? It was Frosted Strawberry! Mmmmmm.......Do yourself a favor and pass on this sleep-aid film which has all the suspense of a turtle nibbling on a lettuce leaf.
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 ****
