MrO, buckle up for the rest of AHS. BUCKLE, UP.
Just got out of Under Siege 3: White Home.
Loved it. Gerard Butler is no Segal, but he was close enough. This absolutely should have come out in June or July, it's EXACTLY what summer movies are. Fun, mindless, never boring, just get right up in it.
Look, I have zero idea how anyone could ever, ever, EVER get the White House, I doubt it's even remotely possible, BUT, for these purposes, this was one hell of an attempt. Hell, the White House gon see this movie and start makin some changes I bet, its that realistic.
Literally, my biggest complaint was actually the amount of people that came out of the White House guns blazing. It's supposed to be secure, absolutely, but EVERYBODY has a gun?
I think the damn secretary was strapped. I was expecting a team, you know, like a swat type team, 20 men, 25 men, whatever. There was SWARMS of suits comin out with their glocks. All those folk walk the White House carryin like that?
Story wise, very plausible. Certainly its a stretch to take the joint, no doubt about it, but if it DID happen, and that was how it happened, and the reasons why it happened, it gave it a very solid feel. As realistic as you're probably gonna get given the storyline. One detail I truly truly loved. Guns everywhere, bullets flyin, bodies pilin up all around right? Later in the movie, they show a nothing random scene of some of the bag guys setting somethin up, on their arms are cuts/blood. Think about that. Every movie always got all this ruccus about, and dudes walk thru with their pristine white shirts, ironed and ****, I hate that. In this meaningless scene, with no name extras doin some work, Fuqua had enough brains to throw some wounds on these guys, make it LOOK real.
Remember Vin and Rock fightin in Fast Five? Glass, tables, doors, walls they tear thru, they got like some dust on their necks.
I was impressed he gave it that much of an attempt, and that's a small thing, but to me, it goes a long way.
Overall, imagining what this world would be like if the White House got taken................ man.......I don't know. 9/11 was incredible enough. I know you New Yorkers out there have already seen hell, and this movie won't scare you one damn bit. I hope at least this gives you some enterainment and let's you forget life for 2 hours.
As for the people, listen to me, when I sat down and noticed that the bad guy from Fast and the Furious 1, and the bad guy from 2 Fast 2 Furious were both in this, I couldn't be more proud.
God damn it, Johnny Tran done come up in the world.
"Go fetch my White House" Cole Hauser is a good guy tho, so he got soft it appears. Morgan did his thing, Angela Bassett was solid, Butler is fine and got his 300 on. 2 Face was solid as the pres, liked the stuff they did with him and Butler at Camp David. Really enjoyable movie. Blu Ray certainty when it comes out, can't wait.
Previews. GI Joe 2, Pain and Gain, Fast 6. The Rock is in all of them. What. The. ****?
Dude must be payin Nic Cage's debts or something. Sonofa.......
This is a 9/10, not on a Shawshank level, on a 2 hours without life botherin you level. Pure relaxing fun. Good tension, thought provoking, smidge of humor of course, just an enjoyable summer movie, in late March.
I miss Steven Segal tho.
