A Red Dawn for the Tea Party era, Olympus Has Fallen is pretty ridiculously entertaining-- or at least entertainingly ridiculous-- for long stretches, dulled only by the realization that there are many parts of the country where this will play as less than total farce.
There are several countries that might currently be considered possibly targets of an invasion. The USA is not one of them. Rather, it is far more likely to be supplying the invading army. Why on earth does ridiculous bullshit like this continue to sell tickets here?

No interest in seeing it (for obvious reasons), but it does raise a question:
Is having North Koreans as the baddies, instead of anonymous Arabic madmen, a step forward -- sideways -- or backwards?

Awwww, I was sort of looking forward to seeing it. Oh well. Back to the Evil Dead movie with me it is.
