I haven't seen a single dumbest mainstream military operation which has been carried out in movies with steven seagal in it. Never want to know who the writer is. I mean everything goes wrong, literally everything. I can't believe they killed steven seagal half way through after all that macho BS in the beginning of the movie. That is quite a statement and the beginning of the end. Then the bomb expert falls over like little red riding hood and breaks his neck. Come on.. Of course the typical 90's C movie comical suspense scenes. They are all over the movie. I watched half way through and shut down everything because I couldn't bear it anymore. This movie will make Passenger 57 look like Oscar Nominee. Yep its that bad. don't trust the IMDB rating with the 6.4 stars. Anything above 6 should be decent to watch and I wouldn't bother writing here on how bad they are. This movie gave me an idea to write on IMDB so some people can save their precious time instead watching this. God bless us all.

Executive Decision is famous for killing of Steven Seagal's character relatively early in the movie, and that definitely made Roger Ebert sit up as described in his famous review.Also Executive Decision is one of the few movies starring Marla Maples, who at the time was the second wife of Donald Trump, so that's a major distinction.

The 90s saw a few good airline terrorist hijacking movies. You could compare this one to "Passenger 57" or "Air Force One" with a little Die Hard thrown in. All the characters in this movie are likable an each has there own characteristics although a few lines can seem a bit cheesy. I have watched this several times in the past and will no doubt watch again many time in the future. The basic plot is some terrorist gets arrested by the US, then followers of his hijack a plane bound for the US with a chemical bomb planted on board. The government has either the choice to destroy a plane with over 400 passengers on board or allow half the Eastern Seabord to die. Either decision will mean the government is finished politically, which is all they same to care about rather than the loss of lives.

This is a great 90s action movie. It has the exciting moments, the interesting plot and the mixture of characters that the period's action movies all tried to have. But at the same time, it downplays the one-man heroism that is often a big part of them (looking at you, McClaine!). The movie refers to this with the character played by Segal.The most important part of this movie is the team. Early on people tries to break with the team, but mostly everyone is on the same page throughout the movie. At the end of the movie, one character kind-of goes against his team, but the focus is also on trusting one's teammates, something that the other guys does during this moment.If you want a quintessential 90s action flick, this is a good pick!
