Gerard Butler Must Have The President From Hostage-Takers
InOlympus Has Fallen, Gerard Butler cemented his reputation as one of modern movie history's top action stars with his performance as Secret Service agent Mike Banning, who must rescue US President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) from a presidential hostage situation in the White House. Combined with over-the-top action movie dialogue and set pieces, this is an entertaining thriller from start to finish. The movie's plot similarities with White House Down are immediately obvious and Olympus Ha...
Keanu Reeves Boards A Bus With A Bomb
While Keanu Reeves is currently one of the biggest action stars of the 21st century thanks to the John Wick franchise, he also ruled the genre in the '90s with Speed as one of his best outings. Reeves plays Jack Taven, a hotshot cop who must work with passenger Annie Porter (Sandra Bullock) to save a bus full of innocent people that is armed with a bomb that will blow if the bus slows down. The fun premise makes great use of the small setting, allowing for a fast-paced action ride. Like White...
Clint Eastwood Is An Aging Secret Service Agent
Tatum's John Cale is a fun hero for White House Down, but likely the best Secret Service hero in action movie history is Frank Horrigan from In the Line of Fire. Clint Eastwood plays the veteran agent who is called back into duty when there is a new threat on the life of the president. The movie effectively addresses Eastwood's age in the role, adding an interesting element of Frank being haunted by guilt over failing to save JFK from his assassination. It is an effective taut thriller with m...
Dwayne Johnson Fights To Save His Family From Villains Inside A Burning Building
With disaster movie veteran Roland Emmerich at the helm of White House Down, it is not surprising it goes for a lot of over-the-top and ridiculous action. This is a similar approach to many of Dwayne Johnson's action movies, including the similar lone hero adventure of Skyscraper. Johnson plays Will Sawyer, a security expert who must save his family from a high-tech building controlled by dangerous criminals all while the building burns. Skyscraper is another movie thatowes more than a little...
Young Rebels Fight Off Soviet Invaders
The idea of enemies attacking the heart of America as seen in White House Down is an idea that has become popular in a lot of action movies. However, the movie most famous for this isRed Dawn. The 1980s action movie imagines a scenario in which the Soviet Union successfully invades the United States leaving a band of young rebels to fight back against the conquerors. With a cast of young '80s stars like Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, and Charlie Sheen, the movie places itself well in this ico...
Liam Neeson Goes On A Warpath To Save His Daughter
There is something so thrilling about the idea of a bunch of bad guys simply picking the wrong good guy to mess with. In White House Down, the villains could likely have gotten away with their plan were it not for John Cale. In Taken, the villains make the deadly mistake of kidnapping the daughter of Bryan Mills (Neeson). It is extremely satisfying seeing Mills and his particular set of skills cut through the bad guys in his quest to save his daughter. While Cale also has his young daughter i...
The Action Classic That Inspired Countless Copycats
A classic that redefined how audiences view action movies, creating a Star Wars-like wake of copycats that turned into something like a genre unto itself, Die Hard remains a top-tier action thriller. Several elements in White House Down are direct references to the original Die Hard, not least of which is Tatum's white tank top, a look made famous byBruce Willis' lone cop John McClane battling well-armed thieves in a skyscraper. While Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down may share a number...
Steven Segal Takes On Tommy Lee Jones And Gary Busey In A Stolen Battleship
After the success of Die Hard, the concept of a single man overpowering a much larger force in a contained siege situation became a new Hollywood obsession. Willis' performance as John McClane catapulted him to a level of action movie stardom associated with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. Steven Seagal was always known as an action star, but his Die Hard clone wasby far his most successful mainstream movie. As Casey Ryback, a Navy SEAL turned ship's cook, Seagal faces Tommy Lee...
An Assassination Attempt Is Viewed From Multiple Perspectives
An assassination attempt made against the President of the United States is seen from multiple viewpoints before, during, and after the attack, and is replayed and seen from the perspectives of different characters. The main draw for White House Down fans here is Dennis Quaid as dedicated Secret Service agent Thomas Barnes, who will stop at nothing to save the President. Beyond that though, Vantage Point is a well-cast thriller that's built all around its many twists. With each new perspectiv...
Kurt Russell Leads A Team Aboard A Hijacked Plane
One of the most popular spin-offs of the Die Hard formula is the self-explanatory'Die Hard on a plane' scenario and one of the best in that arena has to be Executive Decision. Kurt Russell plays David Grant, a fish-out-water CIA consultant who has to lead an elite team to infiltrate and take back a hijacked passenger plane without it landing. The movie finds plenty of ways to keep its claustrophobic environment exciting, and fans of White House Down will appreciate its similarly robust cast o...
