Olympus Has Fallen | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

It's all poise or composure, excessive bloodshed (a few slick, enemy headshots), and one-liners that don't work in this severe, ruthless scenario.

It feels like a really good idea desperately looking for a filmmaker and production crew able to convincingly bring it to life.

Gormless, guilty-pleasure action thriller, best viewed as the Die-Hard-Hits-The-White-House affair it so clearly wants to be. And to its relative credit, just about is.

It doesn't set a trend, but closely follows the blueprint laid out by the much better movies that came before it - like painting by numbers.

An easy movie that just plopped out of the studio and isn't particularly worth paying attention to.
