By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 21 Mar 2013

[Antoine Fuqua] gives in to terrible instincts here, flirting with overwrought patriotism, one too many laugh lines amid numerous characters…

Review of Olympus Has Fallen (2013)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 21 Mar 2013

Review of Olympus Has Fallen (2013)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 20 Mar 2013

The countdown-to-Armageddon structure generates almost no tension, but Olympus Has Fallen does have lots of squalidly bloody hand-to-hand action,…

Review of Olympus Has Fallen (2013)

By Edward Douglas (1,395) for ComingSoon.net (2,031) on 19 Mar 2013

A better Die Hard movie than the most recent Die Hard, but it's hard to quantify its entertainment value due to how ridiculous the whole thing…

Review of Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
