What's On @ the Movies 2013 - White House Down {PREVIEW}


From a Five Star film to well White House Down and when I did my research it didn't surprise me that despite Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx this film has yet to reach budget. It surprises me after the dreadful "Olympus Has Fallen" a movie almost the same came out in the same calendar year.

Literally both films were so similar the only difference was the Koreans were the bad guys in movie 1 and movie 2 it was Americans. Also in White House Down it seemed to take forever to get to the action. And when we got there the boxes started getting ticked. Explosion one tick, car chase tick, Tatum changes into just a wife beater tick and so on and so on.

So the film is definitely only for those who arrive at the cinema look at the session times and realise their is nothing else on. But see for yourself here is the preview:


Will the film do well here in Australia? I doubt it, the only positive thing as it was nowhere near as PRO America as Olympus has Fallen. So call it back luck for the studio but two films so similar, I can only go as high as 1 star for this effort, decent actions scenes but seriously we have seen them all before and all in the same setting this same year. What a shame.
