Olympus Has Fallen (2013) - 4 stars out of 5 stars

Released in 2013 and running 120 minutes,this film asks you to believe in the unbelievable,but isn't that what good action flicks do?? So I did take one star off for the big strech.There was a season of"24",that crazy TV series where terrorists take over the white house.Well THIS movie takes its que from that and then some,its a reach but its a wild video game type ride none the less and a good time.Be warned however it is EXTREMELY VIOLENT and  Gerard Butler's  portray of Secret Service agent Mike Banning makes Jack Bower of"24"seem like a alter boy !!!The rest of the cast works well also but the FX and story is the key here,not withstanding the likes of Morgan Freeman ect.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.

When the White House (Secret Service Code: "Olympus") is captured by a terrorist mastermind and the President is kidnapped, disgraced former Presidential Secret Service Agent Mike Banning finds himself trapped within the building. As our national security team scrambles to respond, they are forced to rely on Banning's inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President and avert an even bigger disaster.
