Lots of excitement,action and suspense. Makes you think of things that could happen, even though this scenario is a little far fetched. Hopefully the Whitehouse has a better handle on security than this fictitious story. Still a great movie, worth 5 stars.
Great movie some what far fetched but entertaining to watch. Now for all you pessimist that can't tell a good movie if it crept up and bit you.
Very much enjoyed the movie, a couple stupid moments, but still very enjoyable.
very solid movie, and relevant for these times......
One of the worst movies ever. No suspense, no character development, just explosions, gunfire and a ludicrous plot. The only good thing -- it's a good movie to laufgh about and pick holes in afterwards, for maybe 10 minutes
It's a (fairly) mindless action movie full of guns, explosions and knives being stuck everywhere. Blood, explosions everywhere... Did I mention explosions? Look if you expecting an Oscar worthy drama, you're going to be dissappointed. If you want crazy carnage and stuff going BOOM then run, don't walk, to your local theatre. To those of you rating this 1 star, you are either pretentious fools or stooges falsely rating the movie.
Such a terrible movie. Unending carnage and US propaganda. Some parts are so unrealistic that they are actually laughable. .
Absolutely loved it. Lots of action, great story, great actors. They didn't seem to make the villain very 'easy to hate' but all in all a good movie. Curious to see the new White House Down movie... The plot looks oddly close to this one.
If you like constant and mean constant killing then this is your movie
This movie is what it is. Very good entertainment and a little window into "what may very well be out there".
