Ra-ra-America!

Olympus Has Fallen (2013)

Directed by Antoine Fuqua this film stars Gerrard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman and Angela Bassett. North Korean terrorists seize the White House and only one Secret Service agent can save the day.

This is your typical American chest thumper that sees it's own country under attack in a pretty preposterous manner. People may compare this film to Die Hard (1988) but the script does not even come close to that level of personality. Largely the action sequences are well made but it hard to get past how silly the whole plot is and the holes with in it.


2/5
