We've all seen this movie before haven't we?

Warning: Spoilers
Well I'm not sure whether you could call this review a spoiler. After all, I think we all knew what was going to happen.

Let's see, It's about an underdeveloped villain and criminal mastermind who wants to make America suffer like they made him & his country people suffer and confidently thinks he can take down the most powerful nation of the world by plotting a direct assault that destroys several flags & monuments that symbolize American freedom and kidnapping a tough president who would rather die than negotiate with terrorists though his only weakness is that he cares for his colleagues and family who have all been taken hostage by the army of offensively portrayed foreign terrorists who apparently outclass an entire group of well-trained security guards but are still taken out one by one by a rugged patriotic soldier who doesn't seem to impress the terrorists despite his achievements and taunting one-liners and who according to a skeptic high military official cannot be trusted because he failed his job years before which also means the hero now has a chance to redeem himself by saving the president who then proceeds to give an inspiring "USA! USA!" speech that celebrates the fact that the country's system failed miserably and had to be saved by one man who remains extremely discrete about it and wants nothing but to return to his wife to make up for a previously missed date.

*Spoilers end here*

Yup, I've seen this film before. All in all I think this movie was done better than most other flicks of the same genre. It doesn't reach the Independence Day level of cheesiness. That still doesn't take away the fact that the story was one big cliché. It had entertainment value though.
