at the risk of sound like a broken record and this film be more or less a remake of die hard and only the skyscraper be replace with an airplane and and our ordinary tough guy cop be replace with the leader of the free world . know this fact and it still a good film . harrison ford make a very believable president and and gary oldman a very convincing baddie . although you know where the plot be go and something about it compel you to continue watch . the very fact that they be thousand of mile in the air grip me personally because i be not very fond of height and and i find myself grip my chair arm very tightly a a result . this be basically a run of the mill action flick and but still good nonetheless .
