Plot:
Agent Cale and his daughter, Emily go on a tour of the White House after he was interviewed for a job to be one of the President's Secret Service Agents. During the interview, he is told that he did not meet the requirements necessary to be an agent even with all his military training. Leaving the office sad, he tells his daughter he has a good chance even though he has none. She is excited and they begin their tour of the White House. During the tour they run into President Sawyer who is kind enough to pose for a video for Emily's YouTube Channel. Afterwards she tells how excited she is for her Dad to be working with the President. The President is humored and whispers to Cale that he shouldn't lie to his daughter. As the tour progresses, Emily needs to use the bathroom and goes to another floor to do so. Cale, while waiting with the group gets attacked by a group of mercenaries that infiltrate the White House's security. This is partially because everyone's attention was diverted to a bomb placed in the middle of the congress building. Cale, realizing his daughter is in danger fights his way past the mercenaries to find his daughter and in the process finds the place where he sees the President has been taken hostage. In a quick decision, he rescues the President and must now find where his daughter has gotten lost to and must protect the President in the process. They must also find out who took over the White House and what purpose does these mercenaries have intended to take over the most secure house in the nation.
My Thoughts:
This had many thrilling action sequences as well as character development between Cale and President Sawyer who throughout the film, bond with each other and find out they work well as a team to keep each other alive. Channing Tatum is like a Rambo in this movie where he seems like a walking one man swat team. Very enjoyable and I'd highly recommend as the action movie of the year.
