Olympus Has Fallen Reviews

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

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

Does anything say "patriotism" like a lovely marble bust of Abraham Lincoln, smashed over the head of a wounded terrorist?

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.

Take away its swift kicks, severe stabbings, big explosions, and gory headshots and Olympus Has Fallen is just another cookie cutter action film with stale writing.

This ludicrous actioner strives to be as loud, violent, and patriotic as possible.

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

Antoine Fuqua is a dependable action director whose talents will never be maximised while the 1980s continue to be over.

"Olympus" has a strictly director-for-hire vibe; anyone with access to a Roland Emmerich movie or two (namely "Independence Day") and a mad-libbed action script could have churned out something similar.

The picture is basically a ground-based version of "Air Force One" with a much higher body count.

A big, boomy, flag-waving bash of lug-headed escapism.

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?

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.

I was concerned by the stupidity of almost every character within the film. If this is how their real life counterparts would act, we're all doomed.

The cheesy, jingoistic Olympus has all the freshness of a Sylvester Stallone vehicle from 1986 (and some of the special effects to match).

The Skinny

A movie that looks like a Die Hard film, feels (sporadically) like a Die Hard film, but lacks the wit and coiled adrenaline that made that series' debut a classic.

Not the worst movie Gerry Butler's foisted on us in the last five years.

The cliché count is neck-and-neck with the body count in this hyperviolent and cheerfully destructive thriller.

The List

It's derivative, it's cheesy, it's fantastically unconvincing, its patriotism unabashed, its politics reductive, its morals binary.
