Olympus Has Fallen (2013)

I saw this movie yesterday and thought it was really good. Not only did it have an all-star cast (Gerald Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Dylan McDermott, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett and Ashley Judd) but it had a good storyline. It was a fast-paced, action movie that delivered on all fronts and was very contemporary with the current North Korean threats being made against us. I have to mention that I think it is funny that in most movies like this one - including this one - a strong military with lots of powerful weapons are no match for the enemy. It is always up to one man to save the day. I also don't understand why the Secret Service don't wear bullet-proof vests or have better guns since they were easily mowed down by the terrorists. With that said it was still a really good film. I used to work in DC and we had monthly meetings about what to do in different situations (ie fires, snowstorms, terrorist attacks) and with most - including an attack - it was simply leave anyway you can. Even though it is a Hollywood film I hope the government officials that be look at it and think of ways to improve security and prevent or stop an attack. I would highly recommend this movie to everyone.
