Executive Decision. 1996.

Good crafted well written and directed tense thriller with Kurt Russell as the office guy dragged along with Steven Seagal and his men to infiltrate a plane in mid flight that's been hijacked by David Suchet. Fortunately Seagal is only in part of the film so all eyes are not focussed on him strutting his stuff and looking out of breath. With a cast of John Leguizamo, Joe Morton, Oliver Platt, Halle Berry, B.D. Wong nobody tries to outshine everyone.

Aside from a good built up of tense moments and Platt's character looking like a nervous wreck there is some quirky comments and Morton's character able to give out some laughs while in agony. David Suchet shows he can step out of the limelight from Poirot and step into another role of a mad terrorist.
