Olympus Has Fallen Reviews

Flick Filosopher

A vile propagandistic action flick that shamelessly indulges fears of terrorism while also failing on a basic narrative level.

Less Die Hard In The White House than a glorified Steven Segal flick.

Reno Gazette-Journal

Olympus Has Fallen has excellent action sequences, and Fuqua does a terrific job making Washington, D.C., look like a battleground. For indulgent viewers, this will be enough.

We Got This Covered

Olympus Has Fallen is a serious take on a silly premise that strains believability and ultimately can't help being just another forgettable action flick.

All that prevents this from being a four-star action blockbuster are some larded subplots and a superfluous degree of buzz-killing violence.

Reel Film Reviews

It's a seemingly foolproof premise that is, to a slight yet palpable degree, squandered by Fuqua...

Butler's presence makes perfect sense. He's an empty, mindless vessel. Just like his movie.

Brian Gibson
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)

A fiery pile of turdy dialogue, turgid action, and xenophobic boosterism for the frequently 'God bless!'-ed US of A. This movie's so stupid, the only suspense it offers is if your brain can avoid falling into a coma before the screen finally goes to black

Provided you can handle such deliberate over-kill in the chaotic swirl that goes on here, Olympus Has Fallen offers a super-sized serving of grit-tinged fantasy action guaranteed to satisfy those who don't mind splatter over style.

Christopher Lloyd
Sarasota Herald-Tribune

In reinventing an old tale in a smart and engaging way, it's a thoroughly entertaining and often riveting way to spend two hours.

May 2, 2013

With guns blazing and spouting one-liners, Gerard Butler revels in being the tough guy and leads a decent cast, with all-American Aaron Eckhart a worthy addition to the hallowed list of movie presidents.

2UE That Movie Show

Olympus Has Fallen is the stupid, dark fantasy of backward white trash America that needs another domestic threat to trigger war.

Spectrum (St. George, Utah)

Gruesome, cliché-ridden terrorist attack on the White House actioner has a lot of energy to go along with its relentless and well-choreographed carnage.

Triple J

t's a terrible action film but a brilliant piece of North Korean propaganda. The American characters act so stupidly that you're pretty much rooting for Kim Jong-un. THAT'S HOW BAD IT IS.

The Ooh Tray

There's a single line of dialogue that interrogates America's sanctions against some of the poorest people in the world. And who said this kind of thing couldn't be thought provoking?

The movie is preposterous, paranoid, solemn and - though not I think intentionally - something of a laughing matter.

What the studio's calling 'an action movie' - the Secret Service will call 'a comedy'.

Movie Talk

As bystanders get mown down, the Washington monument topples and the Stars and Stripes is shredded, the onslaught delivers a real taboo-busting frisson... the sequence would pack an even bigger punch if the CGI special effects weren't quite so cheesy.

ABC Radio (Australia)

Having stayed up much of the night to watch the hunt for, and ultimate take down, of Suspect 2 in the Marathon Bombings, it was particularly distressing to watch this vile abomination of a movie whose "relevance" only adds to its dishonor.

Whether Hollywood is right to keep prodding North Korea simply because it's not a valuable trading partner, only time will tell.
