Olympus has Fallen

We went to see the latest entry from Morgan Freeman and Gerard Butler, Olympus has fallen. 

"When the White House (Secret Service Code: "Olympus") is captured by a terrorist mastermind and the President is kidnapped, disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning finds himself trapped within the building. As our national security team scrambles to respond, they are forced to rely on Banning's inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President and avert an even bigger crisis. Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) directs an all-star cast featuring Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Melissa Leo, Ashley Judd and Rick Yune."

The movie is action packed but sadly all of the events take place at night, thus leaving us with a dark picture most of the time.  A lot of the action takes place with some small degree of back lighting, sometimes very small.  We both liked the movie but wish perhaps it could have been lit a little more.

Worth the price of a matinee.

Tell me what you thought of the film.
