Harrison Ford is in this? Wow. Didn't know that.
Loved the first one and pretty much all of the Mckay/Ferrel films so this is another one I'll definetly be seeing.
I am really looking forward to this. Loved the first movie.
That's a innovative poster :|
Credit to @DCisared for finding it.
I can't wait to see all the hell this film will get. The response to it film will make the reaction to Zero Dark Thirty look tired in comparison. In the duration of the film Americans will see our nations greatest capital landmarks destroyed/burned/bombed including the Washington monument and White House, and likely witness severe human casualties in D.C amongst the population and some of the officials working for the president in the wings of the big house. When I saw the trailer for this I just rolled my eyes. I have seen the basic idea done infinitely better in Vince Flynn's thriller novel Transfer of Power, where the same exact set-up occurs: A man comes into the White House to meet the president, but he doesn't turn out to be the kind ambassador or whathaveyou that he seems, and he and his men hold the White House hostage. CIA agent Mitch Rapp (like Butler's character in the film) is sent into a secret passage to the White House to save the hostages including the president before it is too late. But while that novel was realistic and brilliant, this film appears to be an over the top mess of explosions galore and predictable plotting. I suggest picking up the Mitch Rapp novel and scrapping this film. It's a hell of a read, I assure you.
I agree with what has already been said: this would have been a hell of a Die Hard film.
There is also a film coming soon to theaters called White House Down, which is literally the same plot:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Down
It was slated for a release in November of this year, but has been moved up many months to late June. It is likely cashing in on the summer movie craze, but does that mean the film will suffer from a lack of polish? Probably.
Yep. I'm getting quite tired of two very unique movies rushing and going head-to-head.
I think a movie take Morgan Freeman and Gerard Butler has much more potential than a movie starring Channing Tatum and Batman's bit of rough.
Also, the director of White House Down recently made the CGI crap fest that was 2012 while the director of Olympus Has Fallen recently made Shooter, a slick, entertaining action movie.
Agreed , some people who have watched some sort of screening of this movie said the post editing , final product has CGI on Hollywood standards.
My opinion still stands , How on Earth could they in the right mind release a trailer with such bad CGI in this modern age?!
And Morgan freeman ,Gerard Butler and Eckhart are class act in comparison to Channing Tatum.
And the two Hitchcock films. Strange how these similar pairs of films are made and released so close together.
I grew up withe The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and it could be fun and stylist if done right. Cruise puts a damper on it for me, for sure. Just my impression of him has gone downhill over the years.
'The American' was good, but I felt like it received a lot more hate than it deserved when it was released.
While I'm a fan of action hero Cruise, I'd like to see someone else up on the screen playing the role.
Random, but David S. Goyer will direct a "'Dark Knight'-esque" version of 'The Count of Monte Cristo.'
The movie was fine. Nothing to special , Not bad either.
The American was screwed from the start when it was mis-marketed as an action film instead of a deep character study.
And Goyer is doing 'Monte Cristo?' YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
