Bang For The Buck
Pros:This was the Die Hard sequel that we missed!
Cons:You have to suspend your belief in a number of scenes.
The Bottom Line: Kim Jong Il recommends this Die Hard at the White House film, where a lone secret service mission must defend the White House from North Koreans.

Oh good. Hello Amewicans! It's your little pal, Kim Jon Un to tell you all about a great film I saw. Olympus Has Fallen! Two Faced Aaron Eckhart plays the president of the United States. He is meeting with the prime minister of South Korean, but what he doesn't know is that the South Korean security team is really a crack set of North Korean soldiers. In a daring clever raid, they quickly take out the White House to put into place my diabolic plans for a New Wowld Order and destroy the United States. I really liked all the gun fire and the completely plausible plan to take over the seat of power in the U.S.
One thing I did not like about the movie was Gerard Butler. He played a Secret Service man who used to work for the president. Because of an accident that was not his fault, he no longer works guarding the president, but has a desk job. However, this pesky racsally rabbit breaks into the White House to save the day from my North Korean comrades. He thinks he is Lt. John McLean in Die Hard. Oh Yippee Kaye to you. Fortunately my leader of the invasion, Kang (Rick Yune - Die Another Day, Snow Falling on Cedars) is running the show inside the White House. He reminded me a lot of one of my personal heros, Harold of Harold and Kumar. However, instead of demanding that his friend Kumar be released from Guantanamo Bay, Kang demands that all US forces be withdrawn from the Pacific and away from North Korean. I loved it!
I really liked the first two thirds of the film. The North Koreans were so excewent. After certain events took place that kept President Two Face from acting as president, God himself, Morgan Freeman ran the country. I love Morgan Freeman, and he was great in this movie as the Secretary of State. I should invite him to North Korean to watch basketball, maybe my friend Dennis Rodman could ask him to come. The movie even had some plot twists that I did not see coming. I was on the edge of my seat!
Some great acting was also done by Dylan McDermott as one of the Presidents men, and Angela Bassett as the director of Secret Services. Robert Forster (Jackie Brown) played a five star general.
Antione Fuqua, the director of Training Day and The Shooter, did a fine job in this fast paced action film. I thought I was watching Die Hard Seven! There was lots of explosions, and helicopter crashes and high powered gun fire and explosions and funny lines of dialogue throughout.
I have to say though, that the final act things fell apart. The director was afraid to show the most realistic conclusion of the movie, where I, Kim Jon Un, would bring the American super power to its knees
Oppo Oppo North Korean Style!
Instead, like most silly American films, they think of themselves as the good guys and my illustrious team of North Korean agents was defeated by John McCane, I mean Secret Service Agent Banning. In the end there was imperial flag waving by the Americans. America F** Yeah! Well, I have to get back to my nuclear testing. Til Next time, this Kim Jon Il.
