Olympus Has Fallen Trailer Breaks the Cliché-O-Meter
Tue, January 22, 2013 "He is ex-Special Forces!"
"Can we trust him?"
"With all due respect, I'm the best you got!"
The go-to comparison to Olympus Has Fallen is Die Hard for obvious reasons. But my first thoughts went to all those Die Hard rip-offs.
If you like your cheesy cinema with extra cheese, none of the irony, and can stand Gerald Butler (I can't; awful actor), then enjoy. Who wants to bet Speaker of the Houser-cum-Acting President Morgan Freeman is behind it all?
When the White House (Secret Service Code: "Olympus") is captured by a terrorist mastermind and the President is kidnapped, disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning finds himself trapped within the building. As our national security team scrambles to respond, they are forced to rely on Banning¹s inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President and avert an even bigger disaster. Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) directs an all-star cast featuring Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart, Angela Bassett, Melissa Leo, Ashley Judd, and Rick Yune.
