3.0 out of 5 stars Hey Shatner punched me!, March 25, 2000

By	George Hollo (Denton, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Kidnapping of the President [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Forget that Shatner is at his hammiest best, forget that Hal Holbrook is the President we'd all like to have, forget the Police Chief of Toronto is played by the "Nabob Coffee Guy," what you want to take away from this video is that I was in this movie and Shatner punched me in the gut just before the President gets handcuffed to the guy with the dynamite-now THAT'S action!

1.0 out of 5 stars A Typical 80s Shatner movie, April 26, 2000

By	Michael Bieke (Wyoming) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Kidnapping of the President [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As part of a look at the portrayl of the President throughout the decades, I took a look at Kidnapping. Compared to the other movies I watched, State of the Union (1948), Seven Days in May (1964), and The American President (1995), this is by far the worst. With its nonsenical plot in which Shatner gives the President to the terrorist to ultimate victory by a herotic Shatner, this movie is mundane, dull, and pointless. Typical non-Star Trek Shatner in the 80s. A definate "Don't Buy" unless you're researching a project.
