One amazing action film. The film turns out to be better what I had expected from its trailer. Kudos to those involved in the making of the movie, especially to its writer. The action backed up by a good and could be realistic story makes it part of the list of must see on the cinemas.

Though the plot of having the President of the United States of America (played by Aaron Eckhart) in the very White House held hostage by a very well organized terrorist. It seeks to break the wall that has been keeping the war in East Asia from happening. All that is left is to save the president, prevent a war from happening, and also avert an even bigger problem America has faced. All this lies to a former Presidential Secret Service Guard, Mike Banning (played by Gerard Butler). If he fails, well Olympus (the Secret Service Code for White House) will forever be fallen.

Note: If you prefer an action film with a good story line this is highly preferable to watch in comparison to G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation.
