It started off great, can't say the same for the rest of it......


The story was stock but ok, I went into it knowing it was a die hard clone but liked the idea anyway. The villains were far too hateable, there is not one moment that develops any of them into someone with a purpose. They are only there to disgust the audience to no end. The movies biggest problem is that *beep* kid though. her scenes were unbearable and she provided nothing for the story. I about laughed my a** off when she waved the flag at the end for the fighter pilots to disobey orders from the acting president. Oh my god! How shameless was that? Overall decent action film though, the firefights were interesting and well done.

I quite enjoyed it. My favourite character was the White House guide who was passionate about the things on display - "Stop Breaking my White House!" and I thought the girl was quite clever, the way she captured the villains on her phone etc.

I really liked it too.

This movie peaks with the action sequence of the limo chase half way thru. Never quite hits that level again.
