Typical Decision

This is your "typical" action movie, and it is old school as well. Back in the day when suspense and terrorists were the order of the day. Less politics more action I say. I could watch this movie 1000 times and never get tired of it. I LOVE IT!

"A good and tense action thriller in which terrorists hijack a passenger plane and plant a large chemical weapon inside one of the baggages in the cargo hold. Dr David Grant, an intelligence analyst and a team of commandos secretly board the plane mid air and eliminate the threat by force. It has it's exciting moments, the plot is interesting and the mixture of characters all combine to make a solid movie. It doesn't try to copy similar movies in the past in which a solo hero would overcome the o"

" VHS- 2hrs. 13min. First Viewing It's Die Hard on a plane, but Executive Decision is also fairly fun, and gets better as it goes along. It's not a particularly good film, but's its a reasonably entertaining and well-made 90s action movie; maybe that's enough. Monthly Wesley AwardBest Editing- Stuart Baird, Derek G. Brechin, Dallas Puett, Kevin Stitt, Frank J. Urioste"
