My all
time favorite for the US President VS Terrorist Themed movies is none other
than Harrison Fords’ AIR FORCE ONE. For me, it is the undisputed best ! There’s
of course the US President for “Independence Day” Bill Pullman, but
it’s terrorism by aliens so it doesn’t count.
OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, it has a Godly ring to it doesn’t it? Mount Olympus is where the
Great Zeus lives so it’s just fitting to put it in contrast with the white
house where the most powerful man in the world lives. And when they say fallen,
I mean they really meant it. This movie aimed to illustrate a destroyed White
House, ALL of the secret service killed, together with a lot of policemen &
innocent bystanders in just 12 minutes. Don’t worry, the scene was not gory, it
was action packed yet filled with emotions. Unlike AIR FORCE ONE wherein the US
President kicked Ass, here a lone shelved secret service went RAMBO & saved
the US President all by himself. It was not “fantastic” so to say that his
moves were far-fetched. It was a combination of brains & brawn. Success in
any endeavor will prove successful in knowing significant information, in his
case the ins & out of the White House literally.
Officially,
Olympus has Fallen is NOW my No. 1. It’s a collectors’ item. And it’s a movie
you would want to watch over & over & over again. Hands up to Gerard
Butler, the lone secret service Mike Banning turned Rambo ! Also to Aaron Eckhart as US
President Benjamin Ascher, I liked him better here than as 2 Face in Batman, he is more of
a Hero beauty than a Villain to me LOL.
