I honestly thought the story and plot was good, Just poorly executed.
Remember the Director was the same person who made Die Hard 2.
With that ridicules scene where Bruce Willis is hanging from the jet
wing & pulls the fuel drain plug, Jumps from the plane, Says,"Yippee
Ki Yay #%^*#$* %$&*#@, Then lights a pocket lighter, Lights the
Jet fuel that travels faster then a plane taking off, The Plane actually
lifts off the runway, The Flames travel up to the plane 10 feet in the
air, And of course explodes with 20 sticks of dynamite.
Maybe I am just too critical.
