Load of rubbish!!
Ava-Grace Willis
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The film has great action and gripping story but may be a little too long

"White House Down" promises slick action and lots of malicious property destruction. On that basis, it's an enjoyable summer diversion, but it's what Roland Emmerich manages to do with it that's really surprising.It's a Die Hard movie. Not even really a clone, but an actual, honest-to-god, best-we've-gotten-since-1995 Die Hard movie. It blows the last two sequels out of the water and fills in the whole checklist: Down-on-his-luck protagonist (check)
Confined space (check)
Loved one in danger (check)
Black sidekick (check)
Outside support (check)
(the list goes on)Make no mistake, I don't go into these action movies with an actual checklist. But this was a wholly enjoyable curveball. Seriously, did any of us see this movie coming? It looked terrible!

I'll be honest. I kinda didn't watch the movie for this long because I thought I had already seen it.Turns out, it was Olympus Has Fallen, the movie released in the same year with same premise. It says a lot about Hollywood, A LOT.The plot is same, a white guy saves the president of the United States and thus, saves the world (cause Mericah! is the world). Filled with average performances and average action scenes, there isn't anything new here. Though I DO think the action and CGI in this movie is slightly better than Olympus (bigger budget is my guess).Meh! Going to give it same rating as Olympus.

Up against 'Olympus Has Fallen' in a bizarre year that has two films with identical subjects, this film falls foul of the 5.0 threshold rule. Whilst being an enjoyable romp that get's it edging over the IMDb 5 score, it then enters the zone of 'could this film have been better ?'. Humour around 5, love interest around 4 (after some heavy editing), action around 7 but very unconnected. Channing Tatum's film (he produced it as well) deserves a strong 6 but was looking at a 7 if the points all connected.
