Olympus Has Fallen


When the White House (Secret Service Code: "Olympus") is captured by a terrorist mastermind and the President is kidnapped, disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning finds himself trapped within the building. As our national security team scrambles to respond, they are forced to rely on Banning's inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President, and avert an even bigger disaster.

This movie was a straight up throwback to 80's/90's popcorn action movies.  Like the good Jerry Bruckheimer films that would come out every summer.  Lots of action.  Good guys getting the bad guys.  Good and basic shut your brain off and enjoy the show entertainment.  And it was great to finally see Gerard Butler back in the kind of performance that his career was made on from 300.  Enough of the romantic comedies, fella! 

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.  It's an awesomely entertaining roller coaster ride of a movie.
