White House Down

This movie had all the ingredients to become a major summer hit, so what happened?

-        The first hour of the film was well scripted and kept my attention even though there were major storylines taken from Die Hard. It’s the last hour of the movie where the story becomes ludicrious.

-        Jamie Foxx is a good actor but not good enough for the audience to take him serious as the

             President.

-        Olympus Has Fallen came out a few months prior to this film with the same story line and was a better action movie.

-        Channing Tatum was trying to save his kid. Bad move which put his kid in situations the audience would rather not  see. If you are going to copy Die Hard then give the star a love interest.

I had high expectations for this film and you can see the money that was spent on the screen.

Verdict:

Watch Gerard Butler in Olympus Has Fallen if you must see a movie with this storyline.
Channing Tatum is still going to be a star, this flick is just a speed bump.
