White House Down | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Big, loud, heroic, and fun, "White House Down," is also bloated, ridiculously violent, and kind of dumb.

The nicest thing that can be said about director Roland Emmerich's White House Down is that it is the second best Die Hard rip-off set in the Presidential estate released in the last four months.

Even critics succumb to the odd guilty pleasure, and for me this movie, which doesn't bear thinking about, crosses over into the so-bad-it's-good department.

An hour and a half of that would have been better than its clocked 131 minutes, but Channing Tatum enthusiastically and wholeheartedly takes on his role, and that kind of passion makes up for boatloads of silliness.

There is a certain comfort you can derive from these predictable mega-budget monsters. Trouble is, it goes on too long. It has several climactic moments, but every time you ready for the exit, the film bounces back again for the next round.
