Blu B Jan 15 Well it's at least not the same film Roland Emmerich makes everytime since Independance Day. Instead it's another Die Hard ripoff. It's literally Die Hard in the White House and simliar to Olympus has Fallen almost to a tee. To it's credit the first 30 minutes or so is actually kind of good. It's focused, sets up characters, the setting is memorable, and it looks polished with some good score. Than once the attack kicks in it just slowly goes downhill from there. Everything overall is just alright about it honestly. The special effects look very shotty. There is lots of green screen that is obvious and eyesores from riding in cars to out in courtyards. You wonder why is any of this green screen. Than other times it looks too basic. The jet scenes look like video game cutscenes at times. The plot at times gets ridiculous with his daughter waiving the POTUS flag on the lawn in front of the world. The stupid tour guide. The dumb over the top bad guys that still feel so generic somehow.

Ignoring all that, it’s pure action fun and strangely I enjoyed it. Watched on BluRay.

I also dislike the cheats they put in to fool us. ie; grenades have a five second fuse not ten as portrayed.; when the presidential car is being pursued the Home Guard could have easily taken out the enemy car etc. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 27 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Matthew D @OceanSage Sep 5 Channing Tatum really saves White House Down (2013). Roland makes for exciting action and real suspense. But why is this over 2 hours long for such a simple action thriller? The scene where the army just sit there as the president is getting shot at by a minigun is so stupid I nearly checked out entirely. There are at least some cool shootouts, chases, and explosions. Channing Tatum is very commanding and cool as an action hero. Jamie Foxx makes for a stalwart president. He's quite funny opposite Channing. Maggie Gyllenhaal is good as the head of Secret Service, but gets very little to do. Jason Clarke is gripping as the terrorist leader. Richard Jenkins is amusing as the nervous Speaker of the House. Joey King is awful, flat, and boring as the annoying little girl. James Woods goes overboard as the raging Secret Service head who is retiring. Jimmi Simpson's over the top hacker is ridiculous. Lance Reddick hardly gets a few lines and nothing to do here. See more Read all reviews
