Chaos over chemistry
For the second time this year a film uses the Prez’s domicile and a “Die Hard”-influenced script, and while Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx offer considerable fun chemistry, the film piles on preposterous effects ad nauseum.
Rated PG-13 for prolonged violence, intense gunfire and explosions, language and brief sexual image.
Grade: C+
