![]() Drawing upon plenty of better movies ( Die Hard, Under Siege, Air Force One) from a generation ago, this film will satiate the macho "man card" redemption needs for all of those married men and boyfriends that got stuck watching Admission recently or were pinned down to see Safe Haven and missed A Good Day to Die Hard. Until June gets here, Olympus Has Fallen draws first blood, buckets of it.ĭirected by Jerry Bruckheimer/Michael Bay disciple Antoine Fuqua ( Training Day, Shooter, King Arthur), Olympus Has Fallen dials up a spring picnic of R-rated thrills and summer-level action a month before the big summer season really gets things underway. If history serves me right, and it usually does on this subject, the last two prominent times there were dueling projects (2012 with double Snow White features Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman and 1998 with the double comet/asteroids of Deep Impact and Armageddon), the second movie made the bigger box office. Emmerich's similarly-themed White House Down with Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum opens June 28th while Olympus Has Fallen gets the first crack at stealing your money. The wild White House terrorism invasion scheme of Olympus Has Fallen is the kind of movie that Independence Day and 2012 director Roland Emmerich would make.
