Olympus Has Fallen| Review

March 22, 2012 marks the beginning of the summer movies,and it started with Olympus Has Fallen. The film centers around former U.S. Army Ranger Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) who is now a Secret Service agent assigned to head the Presidential Detail. He maintains a personal, friendly relationship with President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart), First Lady Margaret Asher (Ashley Judd) and particularly their son Connor Asher (Finley Jacobsen). On a drive from Camp David on the snowy night of December 22, 2010, the car transporting the President and First Lady crashes; Banning saves Benjamin, but Margaret dies.

In this film you can truly feel for the character ,Mike Banning, he becomes a some what disgraced former secret service agent. When the White House is taken over he steps up to save the President and his son. Not since 300 has Gerard Butle play a tough character. This movie has action, plot twist,North Koreans, and the gory violence that has been missing from the modern day action films. By the end of the film you will be applauding with ever gunshot.

Verdict: Worth Seeing
