Review of White House Down (2013) by Andy G — 30 Oct 2015
Olympus Has Fallen is a better movie overall, but Roland Emmerich certainly knows how to make disasters funny. This movie also has the most accurate recreation of the White House in cinematic history. The only other I would say gets close is The American President. The movie gets really absurd at points but does a great job staying funny and entertaining throughout. That being said, I couldn't quite buy Jamie Foxx as president, even though he did a good job and was funny, he just didn't seem... presidential. I'd say check it out if you haven't seen it. You'll probably still like Olympus Has Fallen better, but this is entertaining too as long as you don't take it too seriously.
Personal Grade: A.
Technical Score: 71%.
