White House Down (2013, Movie)

Simply put, the White House is overtaken by ex-military extremists with the intent of taking the President hostage to get access to the nuclear launch codes.  Apparently it only takes about 15 guys to overwhelm the entire Secret Service and security apparatus protecting the President, the White House and the Capital Building.  It offers very little that is new; and it takes itself far too seriously for an actioner with it's overt simplistic, cliche-laden with left wing political themes... political commentary - just does not mesh well into a heavy actioner such as this. Basically it had no real plot and was totally unrealistic.
