I don't know. Since watching the Sentinal with Micheal Douglas and a whole other bunch of White House related movies. I have never been into them and felt they have all been so-so. But who knows this could be a good one as long as Gerard Butler isn't playing a disgraced secret service agent trying to save the President or his daughter like plot. That would annoy me.

i remeber Gerard Butler in Reign of Fire. I never thought I would be seeing his head plastered to Giant proportions on movie posters.

To me, this kinda sounds like Under Siege movies... With instead a Special Forces/Seal being demoted into being a cook on a major naval ship, its a SS agent at the white house with the president. SOunds really good though if done right.
