You couldn’t ask for a more fun summer popcorn movie than White House Down.
70
An action thriller that doesn’t know when to quit. For the most part, though, it remains preposterously entertaining.

Itself owing much to such lone-man-of-action hallmarks as “Die Hard” and “Speed,” this welcome throwback to an earlier, more generously entertaining era of summer blockbusters delivers a wide array of close-quarters combat and large-scale destruction, all grounded in an immensely appealing star turn by Channing Tatum and ace support from imperiled POTUS Jamie Foxx.

Skip it, and you'll be depriving yourself of one of the summer's most satisfyingly stupid pleasures.
65
At best, White House Down is a sure-fire way to kill two hours, if not countless brain cells.
