Big box office hit features some very exciting action scenes. In addition, the f/x are terrific. Ford is very convincing, and tough, as the Prez. It's one of the few movies where the President is tough and not just a target. Oldman plays the bad guy to perfection. Is this guy the best bad guy or what? Glenn Close is the Vice President and his sorely miscast. She adds nothing to the excitement and is really just a hollow figure on screen.
