Actually a very good action flick and I enjoyed it quite a lot. I'm glad I went to see it. A lot of my friends were not interested. They didn't know what they were missing!

Lots of gun battles, blowing S**T up, sneaking around, stealth kills, Hero being badA**, more gun battles, crashing heilos, super secret weapons, and evil villain chewing scenery. Throw in some fine acting and it's a good action flick.

I've seen it described as 'Die Hard in the White House'. Yea, I can see that. However Gerard Butler doesn't quite go for the 'everyman' type of wise cracking hero. Instead he's more special forces competent.

Normal action flick type of blood. Nothing like Judge Dredd *shudder*

Like with any action flick - one should be in the mood and you know, leave the brain at home. Not that I think this had lots of physical improbabilities, but knowing my easy going mood - probably.

My vote = A :)
