This was up there as one of the worst movies ever seen. Actor’s lines were laughable, story line was pathetic, effects were crap and action could have been great if it wasn't let down by the fact that after watching this movie it feels like anyone can kidnap the president… and every time I hear the word America all I can think of is the president slow motioning it down a hallway. There’s only so much propaganda people can swallow. As for the people that rated this 4-5 star and said things like “This is an action movie what more do you except from it” I would just like to point out that this is to rate the movie overall not parts of the movie..
Absolute waste of time and money. I could not wait for this movie to end. The actors never made this story believable and the main character should have easily have been killed early in the movie. Sorry but allowing any group of terrorists to get that close to the White House insults the people who have made Intelligence a central focus of their lives. This film insults the security personnel in Washington and makes them look like incapable bumbling idiots.
Silly....but entertaining. Butler is fun to watch.
it was probobly the best movie ive seen this year :D
Great action movie! Through some may criticize lack of character development, etc. THEY need to be realistic. Its an ACTION MOVIE - yes lots of explosions, guns, blood, gore etc. Movies, in general, are NOT realistic and usually not intellectual. If you require either of those things in your escapism never ever watch movies or read books again. If you are an action fan, you will love it.
Much better than I anticipated...great action and Butler rocks!
Excellent movie. Couldn't of asked for more.
Solid action flick. Not too much character development but honestly - not the purpose of this movie. Constantly exciting, action non-stop. Good one liners. Personally enjoyed it a lot - although be ready for a crap-ton of blatant American propaganda.
entertaining mindless action movie. Butler has a lot of energy on scree. It's essentially Die Hard at the White House.
This movie was very good. It had a lot of action. Dylan McDermott doesn't play good as a bad guy. Well done to the cast except for the bad guys. For the most of the people who doesn't like this movie should go hang themselves. This is an action movie what more do you except from it....
