CriticsCritics: 52

A Capitol policeman takes his young daughter on a tour of the White House, only for the building to be seized by a heavily armed group. With the government in chaos, he must protect his child and the president while trying to stop the attack.

My take

You may enjoy this if you want a fast, lighthearted action thriller with big set pieces and jokes; Not for you if you prefer grounded stories, subtle drama, or tightly controlled pacing.
