Movie information in first post provided by The Movie Database
"White House Down" isn’t a film where you're checking the clock. It takes a bit to get moving, but once it does, it feels like a nonstop ride. Compared to "Olympus Has Fallen," it is more polished, with better pacing and lots of action. Even after a few viewings, it keeps things exciting.

The idea of the White House being taken over is pretty out there, but the movie makes it work. Sure, there are plot holes, but if you're watching for fun, they are easy to ignore. Tatum and Foxx have a good chemistry that blends humor with the chaos.

If you want an action-packed movie with twists, explosions, and some laughs, "White House Down" is a solid choice. The ending is predictable, but sometimes that is part of the fun. You see it coming and still enjoy the ride.
