Bloodless mayhem and nods toward political correctness follow, but it all comes with solid action beats, immense silliness, and epic amounts of cheese. White House Down pares down the outside action and begins its assault from inside the building. Butler revels in the brutality he dishes out to the intruders, and old-school Cannon Films fans like myself will enjoy the callback to action movies of decades past. streets and slaughter dozens more while gaining access to the White House. The carnage starts twenty minutes in as North Korean terrorists mow down people in the D.C. Olympus Has Fallen has personality but is purely interested in the action – bloody, violent, foul-mouthed action. I love both movies equally for different reasons.
