It's an American made film starring American actors about the US president and his secret service agent. If your not expecting gung ho Americanism and portraying them as heroes then clearly you don't understand film. If it was made in Hong Kong the hero would be a Chinese guy, if it was made in the U.K. It would be a British guy. This is made in the US so yes the main characters are American.

And People keep complaining about the politics, cuz it makes the President out to be a better guy than they usually are. Action movies are pure escapism, why would I want to watch depressing political procedures when I paid to see Gerard butler shoot terrorists?

Surely this is Scottish propaganda since everyone except Gerry 'This. Is. London' Butler ends up looking completely inept?

It's a terrible movie in every measurable way. People should complain about every aspect. I could
feel brain cells dying as I was watching it -- and my IQ was only 65 to begin with...

I thought it tried hard to big up the UK and its armed forces to give a sense of political harmony. I know unemployment is big in London but what agency did the bad guy go to to hire a those terrorists?
