Looking back at my OHF review, I gave that film the same rating I gave WHD so it's a draw. WHD has the bigger budget and much more "mayhem porn" if you will (bye bye U.S. Capitol building.)

I suppose if I had to pick one over the other, maybe OLYMPUS simply because the terrorist take over sequence was probably better executed. Plus as I said in my review, the villains' motivations are pretty clear cut and not so muddled. North Koreans want to get the American military out of South Korea so they could invade it.

Or maybe I'm biased because I saw that before WHD? Again in the long scheme of things, they're both watchable (but pretty disposable) entertainments.
