    Goddamn, that looks like a lot of fun. Washington is having a tough time this year with this and Olympus Has Fallen. Download, but still looks like fun.

    I'll admit, when I first saw the title on IMDb, I thought it was gonna be a parody. Like, "The Cookout" but taking place at the White House.

    just watched this today. Didn't expect much, didn't get much. Olympus Has Fallen was waaaay way better than this flick. Jamie Foxx can act, he proved in Django, so why he does such a terrible job in this I have no idea. Maybe because its a Roland Emerich movie I guess. I guess he looks at his actors and says "ok I'mn gonna need you to act really idiotic on purpose".

    Its real difficult to take this movie seriously. I mean I hate to say "seriously" because its a popcorn action flick, but atleast you can have some old school action flick "die hard" type fun with Olympus Has Fallen. This was just really stupid. First off I don't see any president in the history of EVER kicking at a bad guy and saying "Get off my Jordans!" I wanted to slap him for that. It was so stupid. And while Channing Tatum's daughter played by Joey King is one of the only few people in this movie to do a good job, why in the world his characters kid would be such a fan of the American government is beyond me. I mean I'm sure there are kids out there like that, but...its just weird. She new all these facts about the white house. Was SUPER excited when they got to go and the whole time I'm thinkin shes 11 I don't buy this at all. Hell the movie opens with her hiding under her covers watching the news on her phone like some kid sneaking and watching porn.

    The bad guys are way over the top, although I do tend to enjoy Jason Clarke in stuff that he's in. One of the bad guys deaths I didn't even understand, maybe I was only half paying attention at this point but it just kinda happened out of where. They didn't even really bother to explain how the bad guys got in. I mean they had help, but I didn't buy that was how they pulled all this shit off. Some dude just walks in and sets off a bomb. I mean come on really? If this movie is gonna be 2 and a half hours long (yeah really, they coulda cut like an hour) you'd think there would be some explanation's for stuff.

    So...I'm dogging the hell out of this movie, and is it the worst piece of garbage you'll ever see? No...no it isn't. I did actually laugh a couple times, some of the action scenes are done really well. And I surprisingly really liked Joey Kings performance in this. I hadn't even heard of this kid until then (shes also going to be in the upcoming horror flick The Conjuring). So theres some pluses here, BUT just watch it on Netflix. It's dorky factor is a bit on the bad side and not worth theater money.

    Typical Roland Emmerich. At this point everyone should know there will be plenty of unintentional laughter with his films. But with that said he can make a action film and his name by this point is synonymous with Summer Popcorn Flicks.

    All cheesiness and plot-holes aside, I had fun with it. Definitely a bad flick, but an entertaining one
