    Girard Butler doing his best Die Hard impersonation, only it was equally entertaining.

    Great actors and an exciting story that knows how to make you care for the characters. As mentioned previously, there are a couple of editing issues. I wonder if they made it into the outtakes on the DVD.

    Pretty good. An experienced cast pulls off this (quite violent) thriller. A team of terrorists capture the White House and the action begins. Olympus does ask you to believe a lot about Butlers abilities, but all in all it is entertaining.

    Yes   |   No
