i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Disturbing yet enthralling

'Executive Decision' is the kind of fun you're likely to forget, considering its disposable entertainment. And that's exactly you should watch or revisit this 1996 box-office success!'Executive Decision' Synopsis: When terrorists seize control of an airliner, an intelligence analyst accompanies a commando unit for a midair boarding operation.'Executive Decision' is interesting & engrossing, even though its overlong & even messy at times. The narrative is well-paced & some of the twists, actually work on its advantage. At 133-minutes, this action-thriller scores higher pluses, than on minuses.The Screenplay Written by Jim Thomas & John Thomas, is fast-paced & keeps the goings- on tight, although it drags after a point. Stuart Baird's Direction is excellent. Cinematography is well-done. Editing is mostly crisp. Art & Costume Design are good. Action-Sequences are passable.Performance-Wise: Kurt Russell leads the show, with a heroic performance. Steven Seagal has a small role, but he does well in his bit. Halle Berry looks gorgeous as ever & is decent. David Suchet is superb as the antagonist. His performance stands out. John Leguizamo, Oliver Platt & The Late/Great J. T. Walsh, lend credible support.On the whole, 'Executive Decision' is full entertainment!

"Executive Decision" is an action movie in which terrorist hijacked an airplane and a group of commandos are trying to take control of the airplane and to land it safely.First of all about the plot I have to admit that it was not something extraordinary and new since I have watched also some other movies with the same script. Apart from that, this movie changed when the commandos were on the plane. At that moment everything changed and this movie became more interesting and had more suspense. I liked the interpretation of Kurt Russell who played as Dr. David Grant and he was simply amazing. Halle Berry played also very well and David Suchet who played as Nagi Hassan was very good.To sum up I have to say that "Executive Decision" is a good movie to spend your time but do not have high expectations. I suggest you to watch the trailer of the movie and read some reviews and then decide whether or not to watch it.

The plot and story of the movie can be narrated in one line like hijacking and then rescuing. But my word! the ingredients and flavors added to this one line plot are absolutely breathtaking.I watched this movie on TV. I was just going through all the channels and only by chance I tuned in to this one. From the moment I started watching it I never left my seat. It is that thrilling. The suspense in the movie is one of the best I have ever seen. Full credit to the director. I have watched many other hijack movies like The Air Force One, Con Air....many I forgotten the name also but "Executive Decision" is cut above the rest. Last but not the least, the end of the movie could have been better. Should have given more credit to the commandos and the landing of the flight could have been shown on the main airport. Thank you for reading.

Most definitely a taut thriller and really appropriate due to the present world conditions regarding terrorism.This fascinating film deals with one terrorist who has his own ambitions and even when prodded by his superior, he defies everything. Attaching the commandos to the plane was something in itself.Other than the doomed U.S. Senator whose aboard the hijacked aircraft, the film doesn't delve in the personal lives of the affected passengers aboard. In other words, it's not a plane in trouble in the way that we saw 1954's The High and the Mighty.A wonderful cast keeps the tension growing, especially Halle Berry as the courageous stewardess and Kurt Russell.Just when you think that the terrorists have been thwarted, there is more excitement when the plane is crippled by dying terrorists shooting it up and that landing was memorable.
