This movie brings terror to the heart of our government, and it shows how easily it can come.
The action is almost non-stop, and the acting is excellent. Both the circumstances and the actors' actions and reactions are both believable and inspiring. Gerard Butler shines in this movie, even more dramatic than his role in "300." Morgan Freeman, as always, is brilliant.
As an Active-Duty Soldier (former Aviation), I have only one technical issue. That is when the insertion operation is initiated, once the MH-60s are taken under fire, they would withdraw, and AH-64 Apaches would be brought in to provide longer ranged missile application. Also, in several movies of this genre, the Army generals are always portrayed as war-mongering maniacs, oblivious to tactical and strategic cues. Other than those small gripes, everything was very believable.
This movie makes "Air Force One" look like a high-school drama production. And I like "Air Force One" a lot!
Go see this movie! If you don't see it on the "big screen" you are truly missing out.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.
