I might be a coincident that two similar movies to release on the same year. Yes it was a similar kinda theme to 'Olympus has Fallen' but a different storyline. In both the movies, white house has been under attack by the paramilitary forces. Like Gerard Butler as a special agent, Channing Tatum is the one man army in 'White House Down' who defends the US president from bad guys to take him as a hostage.
Yes the story was simple as that. I felt Channing Tatum still not capable of handling whole movie by himself. Without Jamie Foxx the movie would have been a tragedy, he controlled the movie in many parts, the saviour. Individually everyone performed very well, especially Joey King was proficient at her acting. I liked her in 'Ramona and Beezus', now I think this movie will give her a breakthrough to gain more roles to her in near future.
I loved many movies from this director but not this, at least not as much. Since 20 years, the first time he gave a movie which is just an average. Hope 'ID Forever' series will be much better than this. It is a another movie in the list of movies like 'Die Hard' and 'Air Force One'. It was not too bad as well not too good but okay as a decent entertainer. I guess the audience blaming it because of similarities between this and other movies. Other than that it was a reasonable movie with the different actors and different perspective of the similar result.
