Strangely, there are currently two movies out about terrorists attacking and taking over the White House. Forget the one with the easiest name to remember, White House Down. It is stupid and badly done. But RUN out and see Olympus Has Fallen!
I'm no spoiler, but you can guess what happens: Very evil dudes take over the president's residence, and good guys come to the rescue and get it back.
Here's the kicker: In the movie called Olympus, the taking of the White House is so damn realistic it will make your hair stand on end!
Right, I'm talking about the way the bad guys assault and dominate the White House. You might expect to say, hey, as usual, I'll have to suspend my disbelief about how terrorists grab the most famous house in the land. After all, aren't there a gazilliion agents and military folks guarding the White House?
Yes indeed! But that does not mean that it is impossible to take it over.
How? Haha... For you to imagine, dear viewers!
Got your attention?
Great acting and a solid script enhance the realism of the movie. Aaron Eckhardt is perfect as the President. Gerard Butler is a man's man as the hero who fights the baddies. And Rick Yune is scary as the cool-headed terrorist. Don't forget about Morgan Freeman as the Acting President.
All in all, it's a fantastic ride! Super action. Most of all, believable.
If I were in charge of White House security and went to see this film, I'd have trouble sleeping at night!
Enjoy.
