One of the best action flicks I've seen!
I really enjoyed this film a lot. It had action, suspense, tense moments. I love it. It has some strong violence( but nothing graphic) and some language issues, but for an R rated movie, neither the language nor violence is over the top. This is probably one of the tamest R's I've seen, but some teens, probably shouldn't see it yet. 15 seems about the right age.

Soft-R Action Movie that's Worth Watching
Air Force One is a very good movie for the action genre. The acting is well done and the premise holds up and it kept me interested throughout the film. 80's action movie fans will be pleasantly surprised and entertained. Parents should know that Air Force One is a soft-R. The language is that of a strong PG-13 (a couple of s**ts, 1 f**k, and other lesser words) and there is no sex, not even innuendo, in this film. The action is mostly gun violence aboard a plane, with bloody shoot outs, executions, betrayals, and a neck-snapping. The action is some-what strong, but not over-the-top, or extreme. If a parent is concerned about their kid watching this film, I suggest they watch it with them. Both you and your kid will have a fun time.

e.g. Perfect for older kids, but not for tweens
i love this movie but this movie contains things that kids or some adolescents should not see especially the violence and some bad words like they say the f word 2 times (gary oldman) when he says "get the f**k in the air" and "stop with your f***kin lies" (to harrison ford)

Good movie about a plane hijacking. Older teens will enjoy the suspense.

Good movie for mature kids.
My main concern is the language. One f**k and another f**king. Some blood. The president hits a guy with a chair, shoots a guy, and so on. There is also more swearing.

HECKA GOOD!!!
Great movie! The R rating is pretty much for the violence. The violence is pretty iffy for a R movie. A little more and it probaly would've been rated NC-17. Language is quite mild. Couple uses of s--t, one use of f--k, and son of a b---h. Go besides that and it's a great movie.

Excellent but VERY intense
I watched this movie with my 14-year-old daughter after reading the Common Sense Media review, which says that it's okay for 13 and up. After seeing the movie, I'd say 14 and up is a better rating due to the sheer intensity and terror of the situation it portrays. Overall the CSM review is accurate, but there is one omission: In the language section they didn't mention the countless uses of GD. There were so many uses of it that I was almost ready to turn the movie off. The only reason why I didn't was that the language is slightly excusable considering the intense situation the characters are in. Overall, very good movie, excellent role models (especially Ford's character: the stalwart president and devoted dad), and no sexual content whatsoever (aside from a perfectly chaste husband-and-wife kiss).
