Gerald Butler is a guy’s guy
and we all loved him in 300 but he is not Bruce Willis. As the story goes a disgraced former Presidential guard, Butler,
finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack;
using his inside knowledge, Butler works with national security to rescue the
President from his kidnappers. It’s
Die Hard in The White House and it fails badly. In fact they literally steal
scenes from the original Die Hard. Why?
Great actors are in this
movie, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, and Academy Award Winner Melissa Leo
in a less than becoming role. Ashley
Judd even shows up in a brief role. All this star power does not work and they
should have had the writers from Scary Movie take over and make this a comedy.
It would have been a HUGE hit.
Verdict:
Wait for “White House Down”
this summer from the people who know how to do action movies.
