Pretty sure Stephen Segal already made this movie on a boat and Harrison Ford did it on a plane. Besides, and I hate to ruin things with history, the British already did this in the War of 1812. In fact the Executive Mansion was painted white to cover up the fire damage.
It all seems so formulaic, with a tossed salad of firepower, spectacular affects, dynamic love triangles that in the end is not very memorable in the long run.
Ok I hate Directors that take ideas from Authors who have movies in the works, This is doing a great disrespect to Vince Flynn. http://www.vinceflynn.com/Transfer_Of_Po… This book came out way before these writers wrote one sentence, Gerard Butler was one being talked about to play Mitch Rapp, I will see neither of these films. Can you say RIPOFF.
I just saw Olympus Has Fallen. My questions: (1) How did the Korean traitors get those guns on the White House roof without anyone knowing it? (2) How did they figure out how to run our computers? (3) Where was the Secret Service way in advance of this event?
I'll bet the White House has already, in real time, thwarted worse attacks than this.
I say waste of celluloid.
Too soon.
But isn't it a relief to have a white president again and villains who are Muslimish and Asianish?
I didn't even notice that. god, that's worse than people with two first names.
I think I will just stick to reading the books.....they provide a much more authenic expeience.
