Like Die Hard, it was claustrophobic, pacy and fun (if not entirely worthy to lick John McClane’s glass-spattered feet) - and like Die Hard, it has spawned a franchise of somewhat diminishing returns. Olympus Has Fallen was arguably the better of 2013’s two Die Hard-In-The-Oval-Office movies, pipping White House Down by pitting Gerard Butler’s Secret Service alpha male Mike Banning as a one-man-army against an endless stream of North Korean wrong ’uns, armed with only his wits and his walkie-talkie quips.
