White House Down

I'll start off by saying that Director Roland Emmerich is a genius! He's responsible for Independence day- which should be seen for the president's speech if nothing else, The Day After Tomorrow - incredible film and 2012- which somehow gets humour in an end of the world film and now with White House Down added to his resume he should get an award for disaster films with an uplifting ending. White House Down see's John Cale (Channing Tatum) on a tour of the White House with his young daughter, as a Capitol policeman he springs into action to save his child and protect the president (Jamie Foxx) from a heavily armed group of paramilitary invaders. Also starring James Woods, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jason Clarke and Richard Jenkins. I wasn't that excited for this film and wasn't bothered if i saw it or not but luckily I did, despite the outrageous circumstances and the over the top-ness of it all, I found it to be quite an enjoyable movie, I think its safe to say that Tatum has redeemed himself after the catastrophe that was Magic Mike and Jamie Fox was incredible as usual but the real scene stealer was Joey King who plays Cale's daughter Emily, who was fearless and incredibly brave when people twice, three times her age were not. An enjoyable film despite its unbelievable plot.
