18 months ago the Secret Service Agent Mike Banning was suspended from duty. Now he ekes out his existence at a desk in the Ministry of Finance and mourns his old job after. When a terrorist group, the visit of the South Korean president at the White House sees as a welcome distraction, to take possession of the President and the entire security staff and to imprison, a blackmail attempt starts without equal! But the terrorists have not reckoned with Banning, who manages to come to the White House Let's be honest, who reaches for this title who wishes to see action! No matter how implausible some scenes come over, no matter how extreme the SuperAgent to work on his aim and how stupid the terrorists sometimes do this film meets the Action expectantly! If one is then once considered the normal scenes precisely also the game of the other actors (all before Aaron ran Eckard and Morgan Freeman) interesting. Just Freeman a people with a completely unexpected abundance of power, but honest belief embodies very well. Gerad Butler gives the (stereotypical) heroes a little depth and so the viewer can understand some more action. Conclusion: pure action, with interesting characters / actors that bring a thriller based on a lot of sympathy points oldshool
