Review of White House Down (2013) by Mo B — 21 Feb 2016

Action-packed Patriotic Thriller!

Originally written July 7, 2013--.

I absolutely loved this movie. I'm a big political history buff anyway, so the US policy and Presidential themes really spoke to me. Of course, the action and humor were right up my alley too, but what I truly didn't expect was how this movie connected with me on such an emotional level as well. There is a key scene towards the end of the movie when it appears that all is lost when an average citizen makes a stand that causes others to follow that just touched me in a way I did not expect. I found myself sobbing not with sorrow or joy, but with pride! Pride that as an American, even on our worst days, we can do something to help this great nation of ours! I highly recommend this film. And out of all of the films I have seen this summer, I would have to say that this is my absolute #1 favorite! If you are only able to go to one movie this summer, you must go see this one!
