Olympus Has Fallen

It has been a long time since Hollywood comes out a military action film that's decent. Combining intense action, close combats and never ending suspense into one, this film is worth all your money to spend 120mins with. I must say it is quite ridiculous at the start to let an unidentified airplane to be so near the white house and its 2x response fighter jets got shot down without much of a fight. But the after action of retaking the white house and fighting mind games with the terrorist is a joy to watch. In summary, this movie is a strong recommend.
 
Rate: 8/10
