White House Down
An “improved” Independence Day, with more “political” content as a plot clothesline. A two hours long diatribe against the military-industrial complex, brought to you by the DoD, Raytheon, and Boeing.
Technically, it’s a poor-CGI fest, with crap fight scenes in between. The classic American action movie, with that Emmerich Manifest Destiny only a foreigner can impart.
I admit I fell for the ruse of having James Woods being a good guy. Of course he’s the bad guy, but worse, he is a complete psycho, makes his wife of 20+ years go to federal “pound me in the ass” federal prison without so much as a smirk.
How was this released in the same year as Olympus Has Fallen?
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
