Late to the party I know. Saw it recommended on Netflix, kept passing over it thinking it was a cheesy B movie. I never saw the cast or anything. Buddy said it was good so we turned it on and watched it last night.

Damn good action movie. Good cast. Crazy, brutal action. Buddy also said the sequel was even better. May watch that tonight.

Good take.

I like the third movie, Angel has Fallen, better than the sequel, London has Fallen. But, if you like Olympus, you’ll like both of them.

That Channing Tatum/Jamie Foxx movie was better.

I think all the movies are good turn your head off action flicks.

I've only seen the first two but I agree w/your buddy that London Has Fallen is better.

He's brutal to the point that he's damn near psycho w/the way he's killing the terrorists.

Not that I dislike White House Down, but this is one of the worst M/TV takes ever.

Of course it was good- it was filmed in Shreveport/Bossier

I actually haven’t seen it, but will look for it on Netflix

How messed up would the world be after the events of "London has Fallen"?
7/8 of the G8 lost their leaders.

I always struggle with the suspension of disbelief that the secret service would run out the front door en masse like Lemmings out of a fortified building rather than trading space for time for the QRF to arrive and handle it.

They don’t need to beat the attack.

Except the whole initial attack on the White House is absurd, even for a cheesy action movie

RIP to that brave dog though

I'm trying to be less cynical of movies.

Yeah, 98% of movies are really really dumb. I went a year without really watching movies due to that fact.

I'm trying to enjoy movies without tearing them apart scene by scene in my head.

It might mess things up, it might make things better.
