Olympus Has Fallen

Ratings: 7.5/10

Film Class: B+

Genre: Action

Action-packed, for a reason, unlike Red 2, Olympus Has Fallen has a better, more balanced storyline which seems plausible. Mike Banning, acted by Gerard Butler, is one of the US's presential guards who was forced to relinquish his role and assume deskbound duties of a secret service agent after a mishap. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, just what USA needs when they suddenly come under siege of a terrorist attack by North Korea. The President and his important "knights of the round table" are held hostage, and are forced to activate one of the deadliest weapon the world has seen... not if the ex-300-spartacus-king can stop it. 

I had to mention the previous description because the storyline is predictable. Gerard Butler is once again a close-to-invincible character and it doesn't take a movie buff to know where the story is headed. Still, the action and CG was awesome, and kept me at the edge of my seats at all times. We all know Gerard Butler is going to kick ass, but it's a question of how he's going to do it. He's a "stealth warrior" in this movie, slowly wiping out the badasses one by one... and when he finally does so for the ultimate villain, you'd wish it never ends. 

Kick-ass explosive movie that genuinely leaves your mind satisfied after a hard day's work.
