Did I like Air Force One? Absolutely! Do I think Harrison Ford would make a great president? I'd vote for him!
Air Force One had plenty of thrills, chills, and death defying scenarios, almost to the point it was too much. Half a dozen places along the way the movie could have ended and been sufficient. Still, it goes all the way, and the special effects are above par. Gary Oldman broke the recent trend in movies that instead of playing a comic over-the-top villain, he plays one that's just plain evil.
Watching Harrison Ford duke it out mano-a-mano with the bad guys made me think about our current president. Some have said that showing a heroic president is jingoistic and unreal, I'd say it's good to have a character who DOES take charge and is an idealized concept of what we would like our president to be.
