my review -
As shown in the trailer the attack on white house sequence is worthy to be seen from the initial setup to the entire process really reminds me Die Hard or Con Air. The movie is purely action thriller, no more, no less. Only gripe is the horrible spoken Korean by terrorists and their lines are just god awful beyond laughable level. Otherwise, main casts are solid and good amount of spectacular action scenes keep the pace going till the end. The script is very plain if it wasn't for the decent direction and editing, it barely passes the standard for dialogs. But some action scenes might be too much for certain tastes, its rated R after all. Some CG were pretty blend worse than the video games in today's standards.
