But the story can be old-fashioned and the details can't have loopholes! Some of the plot of Olympus Has Fallen struck me, as a non-American, as unreliable. Terrorists stormed the White House and demanded that the United States withdraw the Seventh Fleet and troops stationed overseas. This is the condition of the terrorist, and it is brought up repeatedly in the movie. According to common sense, this should be closely related to the plot, at least to the goal achieved by the terrorists. As a result, the terrorists asked for a set of nuclear weapon self-destruction codes to initiate a nuclear explosion on the American soil. So what does this have to do with the Seventh Fleet? The withdrawal of the Seventh Fleet will not affect this result in the slightest. Even if the terrorists are Koreans, the withdrawal of the Seventh Fleet will mean the end of the Korean government? Can they take power? This doesn't work at all, does it? The thing that makes me feel the most uncomfortable about the movie is here, it is obvious that the words are on my lips but for some reason I can't say them. In fact, the most reasonable explanation is that these people are Koreans at all. They asked for the nuclear weapon self-destruction code to make the United States lose its nuclear counterattack capability. At the same time, once the Seventh Fleet withdraws, it will not be able to effectively intercept North Korea's Taepodong missiles, so North Korea can attack the United States with unscrupulous nuclear weapons. As long as the plot changes slightly like this, it makes sense. I don’t think Hollywood screenwriters can’t think of such a simple logic chain. The only explanation is that such screenwriters can’t be released in China. So the terrorists became an inexplicable gang that just wanted all nuclear weapons to explode on American soil. This itself has a huge loophole. All the nuclear weapons of the United States have completely destroyed the earth hundreds of times! Even the nuclear winter that is not directly affected is enough to kill all life on the ground. This trick by terrorists is definitely a suicide act of kidnapping all mankind. This again contradicts the previous plot requesting the withdrawal of the Seventh Fleet, making the previous plot pointless and useless. So I boldly guessed that the original script was not like that, but had to be changed for some reason.
This is a big loophole in the film. Of course, the audience should not be able to see it if it is not very serious, so it does not affect the viewing of the film on the ordinary side. In the end, the president was clearly shot in the chest and his lips were so white that he was about to burp, but two minutes later he walked out of the White House ruddy under the support of the protagonist. This is a complete loophole! Very lax and out of Hollywood standards.
It is said that so many "Olympus Has Fallen" are at most mid-level in the American theme, if not for Morgan Freeman, it is estimated that the level is lower. What makes me wonder is that Lord Fern has been taking all the movies recently, and he has a great momentum to catch up with Nicolas Cage. Grandpa is short of money? A real money making rhythm.
Although it is not the best film, the attendance rate is still good enough to take a share in the box office battle at the end of the year [proud]
