A lot can happen on one day: briefly; John Cale [Channing Tatum:] he has a daughter, he is going in for a job with the President's Secret Service he is already working on Capitol Hill in security detail, but he really wants this opportunity, he has already served his country, but in summary he is declined this opportunity because he has discipline issues. But when the White House is under attack, he has to step up to protect the current President of the United States of America;  President of the United States James Sawyer [Jamie Foxx:] he is so close to bringing peace in the Middle East and  Martin Walker [James Woods:] a retiring Secret Service Presidential Detail Special Agent-in-Charge.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this out 131 minutes film is good, but it does like infinitely I would say for the first hour; there are occasions where it seems to lose itself as it goes off the boil; they could have really taken off 15 minutes just to give it hopefully it assistant get up and go to proceedings.

Action and art; the action sequences are noisy chaos, I'm not criticising this; it is just that is what it is; we have landed to land or land to air or land to water sequences with stealthily moving around without trying to be caught with rocket launchers being used to take down armed choppers or/and this vehicle ending upside down in water; from a vehicle perspective they are still holding out to a hard-hitting standard, but when the green-screen effects are being used such as when the old classic moving car, but I would guess and speculate the car isn't moving, but instead they are moving the scenery or the most obvious is sometimes I think is the explosions; I mean they look right, but they don't look right out in the performers are in this scene, but the explosion they aren't in this scene; if you look out for as the older filmgoers out there would know you are looking for the black outlines when the green-scream is in effect and not forgetting the flybys look good as well.

Character developments, performances and comedy; they are good versions of what they are meant to be and for the vast majority of this cast; their performances reflect that. It really does need the trio of names I have already mentioned in the storyline section of this content; to be very much the spear head to this title; even though likewise they themselves as it relates to the character developments are good versions of what they are meant to be; their chemistry is priceless as Tatum/Cale, Foxx/President  Sawyer have this comical back and forth now and again and Woods/Walker is just being Woods at his very best.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; as I have already indicated this film really could have done with roughly 15 minutes knocked off to really give it some get up and go, but if you haven't seen this film either yet or for some time it is a good watch. This film does have some awards accredited to its name such as 3 Winners includes Teen Choice Awards 2013 Teen Choice Award Choice Summer Movie Star: Male Channing Tatum. 9 Nominees that includes from the same awards ceremony/event Choice Movie: Chemistry Jamie Foxx Channing Tatum
