"Get off my plane."
Perhaps the only line worth quoting from this presidential action flick, it's delivered with such commitment, you can't ignore it. Not as iconic as "No ticket," for sure, but a stand alone line that deserves some notice.
Harrison Ford is perhaps the most kick-ass president modern cinema has ever seen. Is he a good president? We don't know. Can he re-hijak his hijaked plane? Absolutely. I can't imagine George W Bush moving like this, but Obama might have a chance. Don't mess with him, Gary Oldman, I bet Obama's got moves.
In any case, this movie's entertaining - if completely implausible - but not one you absolutely must see.
Tee-hee, no ticket. :)
