+++ 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.

looks fricking horrible
i like the part "is that the one removed from president's detail? He is ex special forces". obviously in the movie just for the audience

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.

True, because the White House also falls in the new GI Joe movie.
