Our President (Aaron Eckhart) travels to London for a state funeral with his star Secret Service guard (Gerard Butler). After a massive (and impressively rendered) terrorist attack on the city’s major landmarks they’re on their own to escape the culprits. Check your mind at the door and just enjoy an almost non-stop string of well-staged action encounters. Even though plausibility is in short supply and predictability abounds, Butler’s seemingly superhuman ability and gung ho attitude power thru the ridiculous odds. It rips along with few pauses for drama and a boundless body count.
