Olympus Has Fallen

I guess this one just depends on what you’re looking for from the movie. On one hand, it’s a completely unbelievable,
leave all logic at the door, almost over-the-top action movie where one
man knows more than pretty much anyone else and can save the day all by
himself. Or it can be a fun ride in the
spirit of movies like Die Hard or Under Siege, which is how I took
it. You’re not supposed to notice that
the North Koreans that have taken over the White House somehow know more about
using our secret weapons than we do, or how little actual security there is, or
how easy it was for them to walk in and take the President hostage, or how fast
the troops are evacuated once a decision is made, etc, etc, etc… I liked Gerard Butler in the “hero” role and
Aaron Eckhart as the President along with Morgan Freeman as the Speaker of the
House. It did feel like an 80s or 90s action
movie, but I liked that!

I was rather confused by this movie.
