The best Die Hard movie since Speed.

Essentially a louder, sillier version of Die Hard, with John Cale standing in for John McClane, a precocious daughter standing in for the plucky wife, and, alas, no one even much trying to stand in for Alan Rickman's deliciously wicked Hans Gruber.

If all you're after is a pair of mismatched heroes wisecracking their way through a series of explosive, well-mounted set pieces, look no further.

The script reads as if it was written by a college freshman who just got his first taste of Zinn and Chomsky.

The special effects are scary-hairy enough to satisfy the midsummer "I wish to go to the moon" impulse.

Air Force One explodes! Black Hawks! Raptor fighter-jets going hot! Armored cars doing swan dives into the swimming pool! Sneaky plots and diversions! The Kitchen Sink!

It follows the Emmerich template: a spectacle-tinged, compelling setup; a dumb, disappointing midsection; and a cheese-topped denouement that veers so close to self-parody that one is tempted to call it funny.

In this slash and burn effort on logic and reason in which audience misery is the target, "White House Down" is a bullseye.

The main flaw of White House Down is that it overstays its welcome, thanks in large part to a silly climax that seems to unfold in three laborious acts.

While none of the tentpoles this summer are doozies, this one is at least something worth cheering about.

Ultimately, I was bored by White House Down, which is pretty much inexcusable given the level of sublime idiocy on display.

It's Independence Day without the aliens and a president partial to Air Jordans.
