It seems to me that by in large reviewers just don't like movies. Not the intelligent reviewers anyway. They seem to be more concerned with how they look to their readers, pretending they know something about film. Reviewers are writers who want to be something else, filmmakers perhaps, and find it incredibly trendy and smart to disassemble and deconstruct the hard work of others; and to hate entertainment. They all seem to have this idea that they know better and I have little time for their self righteous, self important, pretentious bullshit thinly disguised as some sort of public service. Heads up it does no one a service to be condescending or insulting. With that said I will now step off of MY self righteous soap box and say that White House Down is a damned good time time with excellent shots of DC making it look like an attractive, interesting place to be as opposed to the hot and smelly dumpster it actually is...seriously, the place smells like a dumpster, in your face action, fine performances- Jamie Foxx is pretty cool as the leader of the free world-a bad guy who you just can't wait to watch die there are several bad guys in this movie, so I'm not counting that as a spoiler, and pretty awesome hero in John the movie gets a little long which is only an issue if you're a smoker like me, by the middle of the third act I was craving pretty hard, and there's some dumb lines of dialogue during one of the action sequences that didn't seem to fit the characters, but House Down is a fun and intense action movie that I would gladly see again. 8 out of 10!shane-mayJul 7, 2013Jamie Foxx Through the YearsFAQ5Contribute to this pageSuggest an edit or add missing contentEdit page
