Just got out of this and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a well paced, entertaining action movie. Definitely recommend checking it out in theaters.
 
Can this be considered a 'twin movie' to Guy Ritchie's Covenant then?
Just based on story concept. :D

Yes and no, it definitely shares elements with Covenant but this is a very different movie significantly different narrative beats. Also, this was a more of a straight forward action film along the lines of Olympus has fallen and Covenant was a more grounded action thriller. Nevertheless, I guess it would be close enough to classify as a twin movie.

Yeah, they seem very different, but Deep Impact and Armageddon were as well, most of them actually were.
I think Olympus and White House Down probably the closest to each other in that sense.
