Reel Talk:

It has been three years since "Olympus Has Fallen" hit the theaters and took us by storm with its hard hitting action. Well if you liked that film you will definitely enjoy this one as it doesn't skip a beat or let up on giving you the fast paced action and suspense that had us on the edge of our seats. It is always tough for sequels to match up to the original movie but this one is just as good. Gerard Butler is the newest action actor that can ride this franchise around the world (China Has Fallen, Africa Has Fallen, etc....LOL). A very good movie, full of action and graphic violence and they beefed up the humor in this one so my suggestion is to make your concession and restroom runs before the movie starts because it moves fast and you don't want to miss anything. A must see!!!
