		"Air Force One" is another popcorn movie loaded with eye-popping special effects and suspended belief, but still manages to succeed with some standout performances and standout direction.

	Air Force One (Rejected Score)
		Ultimately, Randy Newman's Air Force One is a great score, but one in desperately need of a film to accompany - if for no other reason than for it to be available for more people.
		Whatever the case may be, it is without question that Randy Newman's rejected score for Air Force One is a superb piece of work, especially considering that Randy is still mainly associated with Disney comedies and his own brand of light hearted satire.
		The main theme, given its first airing in the second track 'Don't Touch This', is a wonderful piece of rousing Americana, but one which retains just a little hint of having a tongue firmly implanted in its cheek.

	Air Force One
		If Contact is the thinking person’s science fiction film, Air Force One is a smart rollercoaster ride — in air conditioning.
		The trailer, while exciting, actually hurts the film by making it appear that the hijacking is illogical and that the government tells the world immediately.
		Other than that, the stunts are great and aren’t the superhuman level of most action films.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Air Force One
		After a commando team extricates (read: kidnaps) the fascist tyrant General Radek (Jurgen Prochnow) from his heavily guarded palace in Kazakhstan, a similar team of patriots (read: terrorists) boards Air Force One (read: murders and pay offs) and takes command once the plane is in flight.
		Add to that list, if not at the top then very close, Wolfgang Petersen's Air Force One.
		It seems like this month's offerings in the big theaters are doing their best to fill the "best of" lists for their various genres.
