Air Force One Down (2024)

Firstly, I would like to note that Air Force One Down is a film that I was oblivious to having Katherine McNamara as the main cast, and hence when I began to watch it on my flat screen TV, I didn’t have any expectations. Sure, McNamara is mostly associated with a couple of shows and romcoms for the time being but she did appear for a short while in The CW’s Arrow or Walker Independence, which is a sequel-spinoff for another show, so I thought it good to give her a complete benefit of the doubt when she headlined an indie action flick. However, this point, I will repeat for the purpose of emphasis: Nul points for such a miserable creation to begin with! Yes, for the lack of a better term, my young eyes were in utter disbelief and confound as, in other words, my expectations for this movie were in actuality beyond nonexistent.

More admirably, I position no warning on my praises for this Air Force One Down endeavor, and, dare I say, Ms. McNamara could become a formidable action actress if only her activity level were higher. The film, directed by James Bamford, is a neat and uncomplicated action movie, just over 86 minutes long, that showcases our heroine in a number of fun-to-watch choreographed violent sequences that resemble John Wick.

The film starts with Allison Miles, a member of the US Marines who while in a hand-to-hand combat lesson manages to outsmart all her male colleagues, The firing range follows after the training and this is where her uncle Sam Waitman played brilliantly by Anthony Michael Hall proposed to her for being most suitable for the position. It is worth mentioning that Hall’s character is nearly Uncle Sam and this type of concept is great, we can clearly see from the initial scene how the satire of the film is supposed to be.

As soon as she steps foot in the new workplace, her function immediately translates to being a human donut that is, walking around the office and serving her colleagues cake and coffee. Mo, however, is annoyed because one of the detail members from Waitman’s side is unable to perform the task so once again Miles is posted up with the Presidential unit aboard the plane Airforce One. Ian Bohen’s character is an American president whom Miles does not like that much, but she offers to assist him to be his bodyguard which is an opportunity of a lifetime and a great one at that.

To the best of my knowledge, it appears that the goal of the terrorists who’ve taken over the plane is to sabotage the Oil and Energy Resource Agreement that the US President has signed with Askovia. This is the part where all agents are massacred. All but Allison and Sam are killed. This marks the onset of the mission of rescuing the president and eradicating terrorism before he seals the oil deal.

Air Force One Down is a masterpiece, as the title suggests, but it’s let’s admit, could have been better. The film’s middle portion is slower than what is expected, there are several gaps that need to be added and stitched properly along with the fact there were a few that ended up being poorly acted. However, everything was compensated due to the insane beatdowns along with the extreme final performance by Allison McNamara, who had the role of being in between terrorist fighters equipped with machine guns, knives, hand ammers along hand-to-hand combat. Looking at the movie once again it can be said that McNamara was all in for the role of a fighter. Moreover, she made sure to be well trained and prepared for the role and excelled in the multiple fighting and combat sequences that were used throughout the movie which honored both Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Most astonishing of all is the fact that she must weigh roughly a third as much as these two action stars.

After the clip depicting McNamara’s actions, her beauty, and her acting, which as stated has already been touched upon, let’s just assume that with every word that the actor speaks, he acts. She is a Chornobyl woman and will demonstrate to them all, what she has to offer. I will never I can never forget a woman of fury who deceitfully said “Hi” to a large constricting-looking man who had a massive knife whilst “That’s a lovely knife.” Let’s say, I will probably be the weird one, but that was the justified expression on my face for that interval. What do I care, primarily it is healthy that in Maryland such utter beauties are slaying it at the stage, let’s just put ourselves into the category of enthusiasts, who destroy everything within sight.

In the lineup, there is also Ian Bohen as President Dallas Edwards (yes, Dallas!) and he too is not your usual world leader, the guy has some interesting traits and skills which I found quite amusing. Bohen is one of those presidents who can handle business requiring presidents to be tough and domineering because he is in fact a president who participates and engages in fighting with an AK-47 in his hands. One might even go as far as to say that he is living or reenacting Harrison Ford’s role in ‘Air Force One’. There is no way in the world that one with the name Dallas can’t defend himself and has to be able to throw in a few punches as well. The good thing though is that the two of them have a fairly decent attractive chemistry on screen, and something of a tension but good for them they are completely civil and professional.

Seeing as how Anthony Michael Hall has been my favorite actor since childhood, I can not believe that he has changed so much from that teenage actor who worked in comedies back in the 1980s. He was once focused on just one sort of cinematographic role amidst multiple contexts and times but there is no doubt Hall has always been in demand in the American film industry throughout the years. This is a performance he gives as Allison’s Uncle Sam (which I do happen to find quite amusing), but here he portrays the role of McKinley, the boy’s father who makes the movie more violent; he also takes a very active role in the story and action of the movie. Of course, there is not much screen time for him being a soldier but nevertheless, this is just an additional role and he is allowed to make video games even in his other combat, which he does have a chance to do.

Biodiversity encompasses both the structural and compositional attributes that reflect the variety of species and the environmental ecosystem of any given place. It determines the degree of alteration in human interactions with flora and fauna as they form the basis of food and shelter. Bio-eco Third World Organic Agriculture seeks to investigate the cultural, political, social, and economic factors that make agriculture more sustainable and less ecologically damaging than conventional agriculture by using case studies.

The narrative appears to bottom out as soon as the airplane doors shut behind Miles and President Edwards, and there is a general feeling that time has been rendered absolute. Realistically speaking, it does make sense that the environmental conditions are altered in such a manner in order for the audiences to have some time to comprehend the two protagonists who have recently crossed the strings with one another, however, it is more or less unnecessary because it interrupts the pace which had been set previously, and the assault on Presidential’s anti-terrorist unit could have extended for quite some time. Still, I took pleasure in the relocation of the surroundings and the shifting of the image so that the motion was not so much controlled, as one would expect for the majority of the running time that is.

I return to McNamara because now comes the climax of the action and this is now where I comprehend why the action sequence, seems to me, is reminiscent of some other film. Scott Adkins starred in a movie, and this is the part in which Miles is carving out against her many opponents. The most however sent chills up my spine and so it was when she started killing them all, it was reminiscent of Scott Adkin’s now infamous scene from the movie Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning. Adkin’s character moves through many corridors, murdering UNISOLS in Robinson-esque fashion the former patron. Yup, I am aware that this new scene with McNamara looks like a tribute to that and I call the woman who acted as Adkins the very ugly lady who slaughtered everyone in the action movies the other day. This remarkable skirmish has been rendered by Dmytro Rudyi the stunt coordinator, and Pavel Avilov the fight choreographer.

Is it possible for a great subject, who is both an entertainer and a fighter, to overdo it for the sake of the cause? Laal even pointed out how her relentless training paid off for the movie she said. There’s no need to lie. I went back and listened to that section again so that I could confirm whether my thoughts were correct.

Typically, Air Force One Down is filled with tropes that can be seen from a million miles away in any science fiction movie. Although now this sarcasm makes sense in the greater context, I let all of this go as it was better than I had anticipated. This is the genre that I like to watch the least, and in truth, my Netflix had lower expectations than I had. But what I got was a real shocker truly in my opinion, other than stating ‘standout’ roles for Katherine McNamara as an action movie actress, she leaves the viewer expectations way higher. She is easy on the eyes, with the right sass and attitude to go far in the industry, not only does she have superior fighting moves, but they are better than many other movies with higher budgets than this one. The way I did, at least many of Josh Baker’s hardcore fans will continue to miss this movie despite its release. However, if you watch it with Percy Hynes White’s storyline, you are bound to get some amusement alongside all the senseless bloodshed.

I saw some choreography with nuances of 87 Eleven and this is the best compliment I can receive since those Cats are the real deal and the best action designers of our time. Great job, Ms. McNamara congratulations for capturing all my interest.
