Review – Executive Decision

Here’s September 11 five years before it actually happened. Thank goodness that the real-life terrorists didn’t have the wit or wherewithal to pack the plane with enough nerve gas to kill half the people on the Eastern Seaboard. The cast includes Halle Berry on her way up and stars Kurt Russell and Steven Segal headed in the opposite direction. Story-wise, using a “remora” to sneak commandos aboard a hijacked jet is an intriguing idea, though it’s largely unwoven by twists and subplots that are far too dependent on Murphy’s Law. Mildly amusing
