White House security would have to be pretty bad for this movie to happen.
Then again, the Biden WH security services could not find the guy who left Cocaine in the WH recently so perhaps it's possible.

If you like Olympus Has Fallen, this one is better in action and special effects. However, both White House attacks were inside jobs that resulted from incredulous failures and irrational responses by the entire national security…

Goofy is the best way to describe this film. I started laughing and couldn't stop after the set-up was in place. I understand this is fiction, or a very cleaver comedy in disguise, but some of the situations were so unbelievable I fell off…

A great action movie for people like me who don't normally like action movies. Actually has a twisty-turny plot. (Most action movies barely have a plot at all). And when it comes to bad guys, James Woods (in this), Christopher Walken, and…

Pretty much every review I have read about this movie calls it for what it is: a cheesy, hammy unapologetic, but well shot and well paced action guilty pleasure. This is from the director of Independence Day and it really shows. The only…

One sentence captures it all: Oh so cheesy but oh so good!
If you like watching Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx and Maggie Gyllenhaal blow up things over and over, then this is the movie for you. Some interesting plot twists too, for a…

I saw 'Olympus Has Fallen" and the cover shot of this same-plot movie was promising [sarcasm]. I was right. It's a definite contender in the so-bad-it's-good Oscar category [that's bulging with classics like Will Smith's Independence…

I've seen this movie twice now and I admit that I actually like it.
Channing Tatum is a sub-par actor but his self-deprecating, macho persona works as a hero here. I can't stand James Wood but his annoying, antagonistic persona works…

This is a 2013 American political action-thriller directed by Roland Emmerich about an assault on the White House by a paramilitary group and the Capitol Police Officer who tries to stop them.
The story is pretty silly---too…

Now this was fun. Blow it up, shot em up romp. Holes in 200 year old walls, broken Ming Dynasty vases, holes in hand woven silk carpets--total destruction of a world famous structure or two--and an inside look at some of the secrets of…

I really don't like how soft the gunshots sounded throughout this explosions festival.Good sound design is extremely important for such a violent action/adventure film from Hollywood period.The director of this film knows this but he…

I really enjoyed this film. It is a great combination of action, comedy and an interesting story. It is fair to say that this will not win any Academy awards for dramatics but if you are looking for to relax and watch a fun movie this is…

F – terrible. This is a movie geared for 15 year olds, which begs the question, why isn’t it a movie about killing the president of Nintendo, Xbox or Playstation!!!! At least make it relevant for them, oh no!! No more video…

Excellent pop corn movie. Suspend believability. The action is another character in the movie. Jamie Fox as President might be more popular than Obama at this time.
