White House Down


In White House Down, Capitol Policeman John Cale (Channing Tatum) has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx). Not wanting to let down his little girl with the news, he takes her on a tour of the White House, when the complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. Now, with the nation's government falling into chaos and time running out, it's up to Cale to save the president, his daughter, and the country.

This movie was a throwback action movie with lots of silly one liners and overdramatic action.  It was watchable but not really much more that I can say than that.  There was NO reason for this to be over 2 hours long.  They spent way to much time developing a bunch of stuff that could have taken 5 minutes. 

I would very lukewarmly recommend people checking this out.  In the end, it really is just kind of there and formula/predictable in every way.  There are much better options out there.
