Reviews
Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
davyd-02237 Theres a great cast in here for starters, with a father and daughter actually being the "hero" of the piece. The "villains" are full of "villainy" and quite believable, with a hint of overacting in some quarters. Maggie Ghyanhall is the only one who really doesn't come out of this too well... a department head who only wants to "talk to people"....sometimes that attitude doesn't work and certainly in this situation with the White House under attack from the "enemy within" is a great premise for an end to end all action movie. catch this if you can, a very entertaining 2 hours (approx.). shame about the bad language otherwise I would have scored higher
jmmustchin Despite the negative reviews you've no doubt seen, White House Down is actually a really good (not to mention tense and exciting) action thriller. Paramilitary terrorists have taken over the White House, and are lead by the head of the President's security detail! There are a few surprising twists and turns, which I will not spoil. Needless to say, see this movie for yourself! It's violent, but not graphic. They also have some good humourous moments. While there are some cliched moments, they don't detract from the movie overall. And when you think about it, how many movies DON'T have cliched moments or elements? A VERY good movie!
tkarlmann This is a FANTASTIC film! All the nit-picking aside, I just re-watched this film and I was thrilled AGAIN, even though I sort-of remembered the outcome. The suspense is absolutely biting right up to the end. I don't really care that "Olympus Has Fallen" came out at roughly the same time -- leave that to someone who cares -- this film stands on its own! Great film, don't pass it up. Those who made this film really cared to make the best action film they could, and it shows. Besides, what's wrong with the US completely pulling out of the Middles East? Sounds good to me. Are you listening Mr. President?
cokezero99 Wow this sucks. If Olympus Has Fallen is a Da Vinci masterpiece, this is Da Vinci's retarded neighbour Luigi's crayon scribblings.The whole feel of the film is so off. The characters played by Tatum and Foxx are not to be taken seriously. In that I mean the actors are clearly just... half-assing it. The music score at some points, I swear, comes from Home Alone. The plot, at first, seems OK enough... embittered US state servants and soldiers, feeling hurt for their loss (think of the plot from The Rock), take over the white house and then demand money. Have some integrity! DON'T WATCH THIS: WATCH OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN.
