Please make no mistake, this movie falls apart and the actions represented are absurd. Still, it has its moments and it doesn't shy away from the violence. Most of the non-action plays out like a high school written screen play that somehow got huge funding and the involvement of a stellar cast. The initial attack does have some plausibility and the emotional impact of seeing the White House and the Capital attacked really does register. So, there is satisfying action and some emotional involvement in the story. The negative is just about everything else.
It all plays out like blatantly trying to cram "Die Hard" together with "Under Siege" and what results is a hollow knock off version far less compelling then what they were trying to copy.
