White House Down
July 7th, 2013 | 
Author: Although I personally cannot stand Channing Tatum as a real actor, he was ok in this movie. However, this movie would have been even better with Mark Wahlberg or Matt Damon in the leading role. Denzel Washington would have made a much better President than Jamie Foxx.
Capitol Policeman John Cale (Tatum) has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting President James Sawyer (Foxx). Not wanting to let down his little girl with the news, he takes her on a tour of the White House, when the complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. Now, with the nation’s government falling into chaos and time running out, it’s up to Cale to save the president, his daughter, and the country.
The movie clocks in at over two hours and is action packed. If you are interested in reading a lengthy synopsis, check it out at IMDB.com.
Rating: 4.3 out of 5
