Film: White House Down
Tagline: It will start like any other day
Review: An interesting tactic – go for the banal morning routine so audiences can relate to an otherwise unrelatable film. You know those days – those days that are all similar? Well this starts like that. But then maybe something will happen. Something out of the ordinary. We don’t know but it would be a probably be a pretty boring movie if not so we’re going with yes, something happens, and it’s great to reinforce that terrorist threat being a real possibility to sell movies.
Recommendation: If you only see two films this year about a white guy who doesn’t work at the White House having to save the White House and protect the President from certain death, even when all the special forces are there, but they’re no good at it, and there’s a child in danger, because why not let’s raise the stakes, make this one of them
