Nail-biting intrigue and impressive action sequences cap off tour-of-force aerial adventure. It clearly pays tribute to the presidential staff and the secret agents who protect US Presidents. Highlight of the movie is the efficiently rather than excitingly shot scenes on the plane. The real protagonist is Katherine McNamara who's pretty well as the resourceful agent who finds herself in a deadly battle for survival when the terrorists take control of the plane and taken hostages. As the busty and beautiful Katherine McNamara gives an enjoyable acting as the security agent wfo goes into action when hostages by a terrorist group, becoming an one-woman army fighting desperately to stay alive and save the kidnapped president. Katherine is an accomplished actress, dancer, singer/songwriter. She is most recently known as the titular lead role of "Abby Walker" in Walker: Independence (2022), the prequel to CW's Walker (2021). The film attempts to mix the plot of past films: the successful ¨Wofgang Petersen's Air Force One¨ with Harrison Ford battling terrorists and the terrible ¨Assassination¨ with Charles Bronson protecting the First Lady , but the result is a resounding failure. Typical thriller
including noisy action , nail-biting as well as fast-paced confrontation and somewhat of dry humor. The early suspense stuff inside the plane is competently made. Concerning a cat-and-mouse game betwen a terrorist criminal mind and our allegedly invincible starring, despite a twisted and suspensefully edited final, the movie results to be a tad disconcerting.
