Olympus Has Fallen

This is one of those movies that I sit and watch every time I find it on tv cuz of how amazingly action packed and funny it is at some points. The intensity of this movie just feels off the charts and always draws my attention. I even have a friend who did stunts for this. 10/10

Olympus Has Fallen

Rating: 6.4/10

Olympus Has Fallen is a brutally efficient and unapologetically violent throwback to 90s action cinema. The film is a satisfyingly gritty and intense ride, powered by a committed lead performance and spectacular action sequences.

Highlights
- Intense Direction: Antoine Fuqua's direction is the film's greatest asset, staging action with raw, brutal intensity.
- Strong Lead Performance: Gerard Butler is perfectly cast as the grizzled Secret Service agent Mike Banning.
- Thrilling Action: The film delivers on its promise of brutal, high-stakes combat.

Criticisms
- Jingoistic Script: The screenplay is a collection of clichés and action movie tropes, lacking nuance and featuring groan-inducing dialogue.
- Cheap CGI: The visual effects, particularly CGI, often look cheap and unconvincing.
- One-Dimensional Villains: The villains are generic stereotypes with little character or motivation.

Verdict
Olympus Has Fallen is a solid and brutally entertaining action film that successfully delivers a hard-R thrill ride. It's a dumb but effective movie that knows exactly what it is and leans into its premise with violent glee. A must-see for fans of gritty 90s-style action.
