OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN(2013)
Think Die Hard meets Rambo!! This is a total testosterone filled
movie from beginning to end!! The only bad part is that Morgan
Freeman really isn't in any of the action scenes! But he does an
excellent job as a substitute president!! The main dude here, Gerald
Butler, does a fine job, but the dude playing the President, Aaron
Eckhart, is quite boring really!! Other decent acting here are the
main bad dude, Rick Yune, along with the kid, Finley
Jacobsen!! A fun movie, no doubt!! A-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Having just seen the sequel "London Has Fallen" (I gave that
5/10) it really illustrated that Olympus Has Fallen is the much
better film.
To enjoy this film (or any of this genre) you have to accept
you are watching an all action, one good guy versus multiple
bad guys, testosterone nonsense.
You can then sit back with your popcorn (or a beer) and enjoy
the film as Butler saves the USA and the world just in the nick
of time from evil terrorists.
It is (sort of) plausible. It does develop characters and the baddie
is good and evil with a dastardly plot to blow up the U.S. nukes
in their silos.
A film to watch without having to think too much. Good guy
creams all the bad guys - one by one ! - comps-784-38265
