Same old story with an over the top American flag sucking theme. The story line and characters in this made me physically ill at times. I hope Jamie Foxx got a lot of money for this one because he was the only good thing about it. Could not have been more predictable. The special effects that should have made up for all that were just not there. If you have nothing else better to watch or you like mindless action movies go ahead.

This movie basically is a big rip off of Olympus Has Fallen. The plot is weak and not plausible at all. And the attempt at political commentary; can we say Muslim bashing? The acting over the top and dialogue is very weak with the exception of the main plot of nuke the middle east and those who do not agree with us off the face of the earth the director and script writers are very clear on that point. Channing Tatum I s better off working as a maIe stripper than an action hero.
