The reviewer at the Atlantic described it as a good bad movie, because there's a whole lot of stuff like that, but also, too, Colin Firth and Michael Caine and Mark Strong and ... yeah, with the exception of one underused female agent, it's a total sausage fest. But a gleeful one.

I AM squeamish but this movie was so willfully dumb I was just rolling my eyes.

I actually saw this opus with my kids last weekend. It could have been gooder. The essploding heads were all world leaders, so not really a Bamz statement. The movie turned to shite as soon as Firth's character was out of it. And ended on a needlessly crass note. Pretty much aimed for the 14 year-old teen boy demographic, so I can see why it would appeal to an adult wingnut.

I'm just angry that people don't say enough nasty things about his wife and children. And his dead mother. Political correctness run amok.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

It would certainly be a different ending for White House Down. Well, actually, not THAT different.

How long until we start seeing lawmakers submit policy proposals based on movies like Team America: World Police?
