Review: Hollywood seems to be obsessed with 'destruction' of late. Movies revolving around attacks of epic proportions by aliens, zombies, pandemics or terrorists seem to be the much sought-after theme, World War Z, Man of Steel and Pacific Rim being recent ones. Master of disaster films, Roland Emmerich, adds to the ongoing trend as he too sticks to his trademark genre. This time around, he blows up the White House (on the lines of Olympus Has Fallen) and, in spite of being formulaic, manages to deliver a fairly engaging film.
