Air Force One Down

There are so many terrible scenes in this movie it's like it is intentional. One bad scene after another. For example having 2 F - 35 Jets going slow enough to escort a Cessna plane. WHAT?

If you replaced Katherine McNamara (Love her, great actress) with Gina Carano the action scenes might make sense. But instead they have a 5 foot 50 pound woman throwing 200 pound military trained soldiers repeatedly for 5 minutes. WTF.

The action is great.... but the bad guys are on a conveyor belt one at a time & waiting there turn.

But the worst thing in this movie is the music score.

Very bad movie,.

Can't blame the actors, stuntmen or cameraman for this abomination. That is why it's a 3.

It's so bad but so many good actors!

This could have been a much better movie if a tiny bit of realism had been applied. There is no way on earth that the pilot of Air Force one would not have a Secret Service detail posted at his house and himself.

There is no way on earth that with just one phone call (calling in sick) a replacement pilot would be put on the flight without rigorous Secret Service checks and double and triple checks before clearance.

There is no way on earth so many weapons could be smuggled onto Air Force One, even if the terrorists had someone very close to the POTUS.

Other than that, the movie was ok I suppose. I generally like movies with female butt-kicking leads.

The acting was terrible. The writing was terrible. There was not even an attempt to get right such details as military customs and courtesies. Anyone who worked on this as a military or technical advisor should be fired and never work on a movie or TV show again. I had to fast forward through large parts of the film to not fall asleep. Relative to any of the "White House Down"/"...Fallen" movies, this makes those look like the Godfather Part 2. How the hell did this get greenlit? Are you telling me there was no more deserving script available? This was like weak fan fic written by someone who hasn't even bothered to watch West Wing, much less understand the technologies and security mechanisms necessary to electronically control AF1. And a rag tag bunch of thugs from (insert Eastern European country here) a fake country with terrible accents can just smuggle guns on AF1 and overwhelm the home team which knows every inch of the craft in a matter of seconds? Do not waste your time. Seriously. Just awful. The amount of belief that had to be suspended in order for this script to be plausible was so large that you're more likely to win 5 Powerball jackpots in a row than for this garbage to happen. Booooo.

I took the risk on the low score, and I've lost. When I clicked on director name, I saw some references to movies I enjoyed but actually I was ignorant. The references were for stunts, not directing.

This is not an enjoyable movie at all. I find it really insulting my tastes. I will not give names but even B movies are better than this one.

If you think you enjoy a beautiful blond woman kicking ass and killing a lot of military men, go for it. But be aware that the movie script has a lot of exaggerations, mistakes, and wrong ideas. If I take a small vacation, I can write a better script.

You should find something else to do with your time.

How on earth did this get to be released?

This movie is complete snd utter garbage.

It makes the Secret Service out to be a bunch of pathetic morons. It makes the heroine look utterly stupid. Who goes into an armoury full of the most spectacular weaponry and comes out with just a pistol?

I think the 12 year olds who wrote and directed this movie should go to college before they think of writing and directing again. They did a P poor job on this one.

I honestly can't believe that someone sat in an office and actually thought it would be a good idea to release this trash. It rather makes me think there may have been a little nepotism going on or something similar.
