White House Down 2013


White House Down     John Cale is a policeman for Washington DC and he is a veteran of Afghanistan.  He is turned down after an interview for a position with the Secret Service.  He was hoping to get this job to bring him closer to his daughter since she is a big fan of the President.  Unable to tell her the truth, he accepts an offer of a tour of the White House as a side step.  A heavily armed paramilitary group picks this exact time to stage an attack to take the President hostage.  There is a powerful explosion targeting the Capital Dome.  Mass chaos ensues inside the building and John is separated from his daughter, Emily.  John goes on full military defense to save his daughter and rescue the President.
     A very high body count and you can’t feel any sorrow for the attackers, some are too dumb to think about and some are too deranged to consider.  Emily is the one to watch, if she gets killed, she knows she did her best in a stressful time.  3* (This movie is OK)

Note:  Blockbuster 4*, imdb 6.4 out of 10, 50% critic 63% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
