Because of a really good starcast we started watching the movie and kept giving the writer and director concession that let them take the white house and then they will start making sense and logic. None of these things can happen in real life. Colossal waste of good actors and even worse waste of our time. It's one of the worst illogical movie we have seen and THE worst President/White house related production ever. Can not imagine anyone keeping so many logical holes in any story. Please do not watch.

If you are pro america than this movie is for you. The story isnt sound. It starts out with an important man in love with his family, and a man brought in to love this mans family. The man that serves the family lets them down and feels regret, but at the end of the movie finds no closure. Its not about a conflicted man but a man letting his country down. It is as almost the family member that was lost was nothing compared to the desicretion of our nation. Acting was good and action sequences were as well. Rent but dont buy.

You kinda know what you expect at the end of the movie just by watching the trailer. In reality the US is too big of a country to be brought down by a failure in one State. So don't get any ideas. There are 50 governors plus a host of local governments police and localized feds. Plus a host of gun toting citizens and enormous polar bears. It's practically impossible.
