White House Down
It's "Die Hard" at the White House again as the "Olympus Has Fallen" blueprint has seemingly been hijacked by the Joker (Why so serious?) and punctuated by the History Channel. A more complex plot line, some bigger box office draws (Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, Maggie Gyllenhaal, James Woods, & Richard Jenkins) and more humor drive this action-packed thriller as terrorists make a second attempt this year at attacking the White House. At times, the film gets a bit cheesy, corny, and cliché, but it's still guilty pleasure fun for 2 hours and 11 minutes.
Alien gives it 3 "flag waving fun" stars out of 4.
