: Olympus Has Fallen
This film is pretty much Die Hard in the White House. Despite the A-list cast, I hadn’t seen much about it, but it’s pretty good. Not quite Die Hard good, but decent enough.
The plot’s implausible, where a terrorist organization manages to take over the White House and hold the President hostage, but they do their best to make it seem realistic. The special effects are impressive — how they got permission to blow up the White House, I’ll never know.
Our hero is a Secret Service agent who is the lone inside man and he has to take out all the bad guys one by one. Predictable, but there are enough little surprises and twists to keep things interesting. Well-acted and directed, with some decent action, it’s a lot of fun. Recommended if you’re a fan of the genre.
