Jbang Reviews present: White House Down. I'll be honest, I had no anticipation to see this movie. I wanted to see "This is the End" but the theater I went to was no longer showcasing it, so I figured I had the money and the time, so I spent it on White House Down and I did not regret it. It was a great movie! It was well constructed and action packed. There was not a single dull moment and I loved the chemistry delivered among the characters. I also liked the way the villians of the movie were portrayed. Instead of machines being killed one after one, the villians showed emotion when one of their own were killed, whether it was anger or aggravation. Now I know, alot of our movies in our generation are more remakes and sequels rather than originals. Hell, a movie titled "Olympus Has Fallen" came out earlier this year with the same plot, but while watching "White House Down" I got more of a "Die Hard" feel from it. Somewhat ordinary guy with military or law enforcement history get's himself and someone he loves (his daughter in this case) in deep trouble where he must find a way out of it while at the same time, save everyone else from the threat presented. Yep, pretty "Die Hard" to me. Although there were "surprises," they were pretty perdictable but overall it was a good movie and I enjoyed the time I spent watching it. I give it a 3.5 out of 5!
