Viewing Notes

“The White House is down!” Dopey as expected but an enjoyable dopey and a better Emmerich that strips away the cringe inducing jingoism from the prior Olympus Has Fallen. Focus is on the buddy chemistry between Charming Tater and Foxx, which works. Super sappy at times and some hilarious and preposterous sequences but here it’s enjoyable. Not a great movie but it made me laugh. More than I can say about OHF.
