I think this opens on Friday. It reminds me of the second XXX with Ice-T. I loved that movie. It was kind of like a modern Our Man Flint.

R rated actioner. I saw it and give it 4 out of 4 stars. Yes,it's corny,jingoistic and you have seen this type of movie before. You know what? It works. There are some really great actors in here though the script doesn't give that much to work with. There is enough action in this movie for two summer blockbusters. Directed by the guy who directed Training Day. He has everything going on in this movie: bullet riddled bodies,hand to hand,stuff blowing up. It's all here. Great way to start the spring/summer movie season!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good but not great movie
Liked it a lot better when it was called Die Hard.
Lots of head shots,double taps and they seem to live by Gibbs rule #9

Really a shit movie. You are right in that it is Die Hard, except that Die Hard never took itself this seriously.

I'm glad they were able to scramble one airplane to take down the gunship.

Eh...it was fine.


Typical action movie. I like how they found a new way to make Morgan Freeman the President.
