Gerard Butler returns to play the same character he previously played in Olympus Has Fallen.

Will I go see this at the theater?

Probably won't!

I'll pass final judgment in the upcoming months after I see a full trailer.

Ridiculous.


I avoided both this film and the copycat film from Roland Emmerich titled "White House Down" like the plague.

I did watch Olympus Has Fallen.

I didn't know the White House had an entire company of Secret Service agents.

There must had been at least 300 Secret Service agents in that White House.

They were just there to be set up to run out of the front door of the White House onto the front lawn to be mow down by the bad guys' machine guns.

They were both over-the-top action films that happened to be set in the White House with the President as the McGuffin.

Personally, my favorite of those types of films is still In the Line of Fire. The Eastwood/Malkovich cat-and-mouse game played out very well with a lot of tension.




The Jedi Master

"In The Line of Fire" is excellent specifically because it didn't resort to over the top stunts and action, it had an intelligent believable story and the cast had excellent actors.

but of course that was also derivative... interesting read here: http://www.rogerebert.com/far-flung-correspondents/the-jackal-takes-aim

Movies like this are good for those nights there's just nothing on and you're in the mood for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

I was surprised they chose London for the sequel. I think a movie titled "Vaduz Down" would have been a lot more catchier.

As long as you go into it not expecting much both films were entertaining. If you go into it looking for a best picture nominee you're going to be disappointed.

i loved Olympus is down better than the Magic Mike one
