A Capitol policeman who gets rejected for a Secret Service job takes his daughter on a tour of the White House, things go awry and the president's life is jeopardized.
White House Down has got average reviews whereas some of the viewers appreciating the action, stunts and fights scenes where some of them were criticizing the length of the film or it's resemblance with Olympus Has Fallen. I have seen the film and on the one hand the film surely impresses in it's high octane action scenes however the length of the film could've been trimmed.
The plot of the film is decent and execution is also decent, the film has some high octane stunts, gun fights, explosions, crashes backed by some comic relief and will be liked by hardcore action lovers having said that the film indeed has some cliched and predictable scenes and even the twists or the little mystery the film offers is predictable.
Screenplay of the film is fast paced but gets slow in between and gets little lengthy and the viewers may gets disconnected.
Acting in the film is superb and both Tatum and Foxx were impressive and compliments each other well. Joey King was a surprise factor in the film. Rest of the stars were decent to average.
Climax of the film is superb and probably the strongest part of the film. The waving of the presidential flag in the climax is beautifully shot. Cinematography is another strong aspect of the film with great VFX.
Overall a predictable, cliched but provide a thrilling and adrenaline filled action-packed rollercoaster ride of gun fights, explosions, crashes, and some suspense. Can be watched once.
