Olympus Has Fallen

3.5
Action, Drama
Fun action flick starring Gerard Butler as a Secret Service sort of one man killing machine.  Butler must save the POTUS, played by Aaron Eckhart, after the White House is taken over by North Koreans (pretty timely, don’t ya think?).  The body count feels like a Tarantino film, but it’s still fun to watch.  My only complaint would be that car accident near the beginning of the film.  Other than driving too fast and in too tight formation during a slippery snowfall, they don’t really show what caused the car accident.  They could have showed a deer or moose in the road, or was it malice planned by the enemy?  Maybe they just never drove in snow before…  Jim and I both liked this film.
