+++ Update++++


Saw it last night. Very enjoyable. Finally a North Korean plot that is plausible and scary. I was surprised that I enjoyed it so much. The supporting cast does a great job and Morgan Freeman always plays a good president. I don't want to spoil anything but there were two points I didn't like.









(original post follows)
Starring Aaron Eckahart, Gerald Butler, Morgan Freeman, Dylan McDermott, Ashley Judd and Cole Hauser<B movie actor>

About the White house being taken by terrorists.

Trailer

The AC/130 firing at the White house reminds me of Call of Duty.
Love seeing Morgan Freeman in charge of the country when we are in trouble.

I think Hollywood has 2 to 3 of these films releasing this year. This film type will be the Armageddon/Deep Impact, Mission to Mars/Red Planet, The Illusionist/The Prestige, Volcano/Dante's Peak of 2013.

yep, already read a review that said this what A Good Day to Die Hard should have been. Gerard Butler is a good action type, but of course Willis is the man. Yippy Ki Yay.

BTW, my wife is in the movie. She plays Morgan's assistant, Mary. She doesn't have any lines though. But she's in a ton of shots.

I like this guy. I wouldn't consider him B movie. He's been in a ton of movies. He's trying to win a state title in Dazed and Confused

This movie was pretty awful from beginning to end. It's not even in the realm of possibility. A plane would never get that close to DC, especially not a spectre gunship.

I went with two of my buddies who are Air Force pilots at Andrews and are air sovereignty detail. They were actually offended by some parts of the movie. Some slow arse c130 is going to take down two, TWO F-22s, the most advanced fighter in the world? Sorry but not happening.
