Olympus Has Fallen

"There's an obvious drinking game in Olympus Has Fallen: take a swig every time a hoary action dialogue cliché is uttered by one of the characters - "I'm the best chance you've got!"; He's in the walls!"; "Those tunnels were sealed years ago!" and so on. You'll be soused by act II."

"A North Korean terrorist may be responsible for taking the president hostage, but it’s Bulgarian-made CGI that does the most damage in Antoine Fuqua’s intense, ugly, White-House-under-siege actioner Olympus Has Fallen."

"An orgy of bloody explosions that’d be tough to endure if it weren’t so inadvertently self-parodic."

"A deep supporting cast brings its A-game to the ridiculous dialogue."

"A typical slab of Hollywood action in which the White House crumbles under attack, the American flag is tattered and tossed aside by baddies, and clichés rise like gods."

"Generates a fair amount of tension and produces the kind of nationalistic outrage that rock-ribbed Americans will feel in their guts."

"A grippingly brutal first act and strong cast can't stop this turning into a Steven Seagal film well before the end."

"While Olympus Has Fallen breaks no major new ground in the political thriller genre, Fuqua has directed a sharp, very taut adventure that keeps you engrossed from start to finish."

"The one and only consolation for audiences is that the end of the world would never, ever happen this way."
