Review of Olympus Has Fallen (2013) by Gaspar O — 02 Jan 2014
I can certainly do without all the over the top patriotism nonsense, and the idea that one guy can defeat an army if he's on the right side blah blah blah, but as an action flick, this was excellent.
Great cast, although I can always do without Melissa Leo, Freeman's always great, and Butler was excellent as the guy who can defeat an army if only he has American training /gag. I don't wish to ever see America invaded or any Americans killed, because I'm not a republican, but I have to be honest, it was kind of refreshing to see the bullies being knocked down a peg for a change.
This one's also loud and full of bangs and booms and whooshes and thpthpthpthp and zing! I just wish Aaron Eckhart would really run for Pres, I'd vote for him. Well, unless he ran as a republican that is.
