It's not a bad movie, and he otherwise does a good job, but his wandering accent is a bit distracting.

While we're on the topic of Brits who can't play Americans, I just found out today that Sean Bean's real name is... Shaun Bean? (If you're going to go for a stage name, go all in, like Vin Diesel.)

Just saw Olympus has Fallen. Very emotionally charged. They were one step away from saying it was North Koreans and just said they were Korean terrorists...lame.

Another movie where we say the President is more important than an entire country.

So a C-130 enters US airspace and doesn't constantly get bombarded with questions on what its doing there 30 minutes out from the White House?

The terrorists pulled out a super anti air weapon out of their asses, which the plot tells us belongs to...the US and it was taken down by one RPG from Butler

They made a system where at the touch of a button, someone under the White House can self destruct ALL our nukes while they are still in their silos even though they clearly stated it was designed to stop nukes in flight.

Man, Gerald Butler is really trying to be an asshole character throwing insults and banter. It's like Die Hard all over again.

EDIT: Whatever they were firing from those MP5s either were supposed to be armored piercing or the movie forgot the Secret Service guys in plain clothes do wear body armor which should at least defeat 9mm rounds even at close range.

Watching some of the early walkthroughs for BioShock Infinite. It's a lot different from the previous games, but in a good way. Protagonist is something other than a silent marauder doing whatever he's told over the radio, and Columbia is fully functional (despite the civil war) instead of being a total warzone from the first seconds. It's nice to have a world where you don't just murder everything and everyone that you see before they try to kill you.

Does anyone here know if the new weapons included in Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's DLC packs usable in single-player?

I think Infinite was worth the wait unlike other series that took several years. Your character having a voice is a plus. Though I wonder should any of the guns be considered anachronistic because of the steam punk setting

I think it's just instinctual on IMFDB now to comment on every anachronistic gun.
