White House Down - Reviews

...an entertaining throwback to the action blockbusters of the 1990s.

Lincoln meets Sudden Death: a corny but raucous throwback to when Planet Hollywood was hip. Gary Busey popping out of a rose bush wouldn’t feel out of place.

President Sawyer, as imagined by Foxx, is a lot of fun (I'm not doin' that shit! he yells, watching Cale working some dangerous cables in the elevator shaft they're trapped in).

...endowed with enough tension, humor, and calamitous action to ensure it a solid berth in the summer box-office sweepstakes.

The action sequences are moderately diverting but nothing special, although the car chase across the White House lawn (arguably the movie's height of stupidity) has the distinction of being unique...

...disciplineret stram action tilsat masser af overskud.

Hunken och (den svarte) presidenten snubblar på varandra. Sedan kickar de loss. Här ska jäklar ingen komma och pilla på presidentens Air Jordans.

...svulstigt och underhållande – och med habil cast av James Woods, Maggie Gyllenhaal och Richard Jenkins i småroller.

...udfoldelsen af Tatums talenter [er] effektiv, underholdende og en visuel fornøjelse.
