![]() In short, Olympus has Fallen is not a good film, just a fucking crazy one. ![]() ![]() Its villains murder so many hostages that it’s debatable whether the good guys even win at all. Its president is a heroic caricature who openly gives the bad guys everything they need to succeed. Its lead is a lumpy bag of potatoes who can hardly contain his troubling joy for killing. It’s an ugly, xenophobic throwback to a type of ‘80s action film that only really exists in our imaginations. I’ve been cheerleading the latter since it came out. ![]() Anyone who knows me can probably assume where I vote in any contest between White House Down and Olympus has Fallen, 2013's pair of White House Siege movies.
