![]() ![]() The supporting are also solid, though Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman will hold your attention throughout it duration. ![]() Gary Oldman is as interesting to see on screen as much as our hero and gives the film the edge it needs to deliver tension at all time. ![]() Gary Oldman plays the soulless terrorist coldly and very convincingly like he means it. With a great actor like Harrison Ford as our hero, you also have an equally great Gary Oldman as the film villain.
