Fight Or Flight For Gerard Butler

When Washington, D.C. gets invaded by a foreign paramilitary group, it’s up to Gerard Butler to single-handedly take down the Korean terrorists and save the country from becoming a nuclear wasteland. This film is like drinking three Red Bulls after a Trenta-sized latte for its heart-racing action.

3.5 Stars: Perfect for fans of the Die Hard franchise

Gerard Butler does an excellent job giving a realistic performance of a true bad-a**. The fight scenes don’t seem choreographed — they're full of real testosterone and Butler brings a rawness and depth to the film that Bruce Willis never could in Die Hard.

Thanks, patsueb,

What was the audience response in general to the movie? I have read where the audience claps and cheers at times.

just saw the movie - non-stop action and just plain great movie. Hubby loved it as well. Large theater 3/4 full for 2:00 movie. Congrats to Gerry and everyone else associated with the movie. It is terrific to see a plain old fashioned nail biter. I gripped the arm rests the entire movie.

Just saw Olympus for the 4th time. I like it better every time I see it. I can now watch the action more and not just focus on Gerry. Also, every time I see it a question is answered. I argued with myself about staying for the next showing. I got very, very little sleep last night and I'm really tired - so the part of me that was saying "go home now" won. The theater was between 1/2 and 3/4 full. Lots of couples and single guys. An over all younger group than in my prior viewings. This was the 1:30 showing.

Hope I can go tomorrow.
