White House Down Review

If you watched Olympus Has Fallen, you have seen White House Down. White House Down stars Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx. Channing Tatum is trying to get into the secret service when a terrorist attack hits the white house. Now he is the only one who can save the president played by Jamie Foxx.

I´ll start by saying that I enjoyed this one more than Olympus Has Fallen. The plot is the same, but this one feels more energetic. It has more action scenes, and the president actually gets to kick some ass in this one. Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx have great chemistry, and have some funny back and forth throughout the movie. The film also doesn´t take itself too seriously like Olympus Has Fallen, and that is a really big plus for this one. There are problems though, the first one being the CGI. It is pretty terrible. Even the green screen looks fake, and once you watch it you will know what I mean. Another problem I had is that the film takes a while to get going, maybe a good 20-30 minutes, but when it gets going it is pretty cool.

I had fun with this one. It has great action, some good laughs, but the CGI just took me out of the movie a lot of times. It isn´t as violent as Olympus Has Fallen, but I really don´t mind. I enjoyed the action here more and therefore I am giving White House Down 3.5/5
