it be the most annoying and stupid film that i saw in 1997. i remember read somewhere where harrison ford have state about his dislike for the film and blade runner ( 1982 ) . well and air force one ( 1997 ) be a lousy feature compare to that scifi classic . gary oldman be average a the main villain . one reason i hate this movie be it hollywood by the number approach and lack of any compelling character . it seem that harrison ford be try to be john wayne in his action and this be the film fatal mistake . the role of the president be originally write for kevin costner who instead choose to do the postman ( 1997 ) . i depised air force one ( 1997 ) so much that i be root for the villain to succeed . air force one be a disgrace from a compatent director like wolfgang petersen who do good thing like da boot ( 1981 ) and the neverending story ( 1984 ) and and in the line of fire ( 1993 ) . glenn close be the only actor who give an interesting performance in the movie .
