REVIEWS:

"Executive Decision is a good action flick, with nice Boeing 747 images. .... The proverbial somebody-other-than-the-pilot-must-land-the-plane scenario is on hand here, this time with Kurt Russell at the controls. .... But I liked the earlier scenes aboard the jet even better than the exciting ending. There are more than enough high-flying action sequences to keep your heart racing throughout this film's entire length of 133 minutes. I'm hoping there will be a sequel some day. A good title for that one would be 'Another Executive Decision'. .... 'Executive Decision' is kind of a guilty pleasure type of a flick. It's pretty much way over the edge on the realistic scale, but fun nonetheless. And the characters are all likeable [the good guys anyway], with well-acted performances by the cast."

-- David Von Pein; November 2004

"Executive Decision...is a good, taut movie for
red-meat action audiences."

-- Excerpt from The New York Times; March 15, 1996
