Review of Olympus Has Fallen (2013) by Nick O — 21 Jan 2014
"Die Hard" without the humor, characters that can't rise above paper-thin, a nonsensical conflict and a star with as much acting range and shitty romantic comedies under the belt as Katherine Heigl for a protagonist, "Olympus Has Fallen" still finds room in its two-hour runtime to drop enough ballistic carnage to send a hot-air balloon into space.
And we know "2012" and "Independence Day" director Roland Emmerich's similarly-titled "White House Down" won't handle this subject matter with any more post-9/11 delicacy.
America? Fuck no. But at least it got me out of the house. (19/100).
