Olympus Has Fallen

Actors:  Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Dylan McDermott, Rick Yune, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett
Rating:  8 out of 10, Gerard Butler in full Leonidas mode saving the day when terrorists seize the White House (again!). It pissed me off a little bit to see the White House taken down (again!) but the action was relentless and Butler can really do this kind of thing. It was like seeing a return of Jack Bauer, but with a sneaky Scottish accent. It was totally unbelievable and some of the plot holes taken to keep the story moving were laughably farfetched but I still loved the flick. The female actresses were a bit wasted but this was Butler's flick and he delivered.
MVP:  Butler as the Mike Banning the ultimate Secret Service agent
