You would think if they were going to ripoff a movie, they should at least do it right. But after 9/11, maybe this type of movie wasn't the best idea.The story is retired special forces ace Brett Prescott is now a US Air Marshall and catches a flight home to see his pregnant wife. On the way the plane is hijacked by Muslim terrorists.....if you've seen Exectuve Decision you know the drill. He eliminates the terrorists one by one and saves the day.What astounded me was the number of ripoffs. Same US senator on board, same kamikaze Muslim, same special forces at the beginning of the movie. Plus the special effects were about as special as a glass of water. Either way the writers of this movie have all the creativity of a xerox machine. It has some flashes of hilarity and action (a spinebuster) but its overall a ripoff.The highlight of the movie is when Luke gets freaked out when he realizes Brett is still alive and the guy tells him "SIT DOWN!" in a really high pitched voice.3 out of 10

A fun action film about terrorist high-jacking of a flight. Dean Cochran portrays Brett Prescott... The Air Marshal. With innocent lives at stake, Brett knows what he has to do. I found a copy of Air Marshal at the video store. I was worried it wouldn't be worth my time or money but I was wrong! I actually ended up buying the DVD. The plot and acting was very good, and the action was non stop.The casting was superb, and so was the directing. Special effects were pretty good as well. With great acting from up and comer Dean Cochran. I would love to see more of him in future films.

AIR MARSHAL is one of those movies that not only insults your intelligence, but it dares you to care. Not only does the screenplay play on 9/11, even having a character use the line "Let's roll", but I have not seen this much plot contrivances in a long, long time. Truly an awful movie, only saved (if you can call it that) by its audacity to be exploitative, stupid, and at the same time, convoluted up to a point where you just have to shake your head in dismay.And would someone please tell B-movie filmmakers to stop using cheap-looking CGI models? If they can't afford actual props, shouldn't they steer their screenplays AWAY from films that requires them?There are bad movies and then there are bad movies. AIR MARSHAL is just...bad.2 out of 10(go to www.nixflix.com for a more detailed review of this film)

Dean Cochran was awesome! "Say hello to Tinkerbell for me" was one of the best action movie one liners to date. The movie was highly entertaining and the special FX were pretty good. I'm not sure how I felt about the Senator using the "Let's roll" line, I am sure it was meant out of respect but it felt kind of weak. Again, Dean Cochran was great, we may have a new action star on our hands because he not only handles the fight sequences well but he is one of the few action guys who can actually act!
