It presumes itself an intricate and intense thriller, and yet I predicted every plot point, from the real culprit(s) to upcoming lines of dialogue, so effortlessly that I may as well not have even bothered seeing the film before reviewing it.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 14, 2024

Silly plot contrivances and head-scratching character decisions end up standing out more than the action. And for a movie like this, that’s not a good thing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 19, 2022

The narrative through-line is a bit nonsensical... and then Nick Nolte shows up and really changes the trajectory.

| Sep 29, 2021

...a guilty pleasure for all sides of the political spectrum...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2021

Perhaps because my expectations were so low, I found myself enjoying the pure action thriller nonsense.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 15, 2021

No suspense, just loud noises. Lots of them.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 31, 2021

As far as film trilogies go, third time is rarely the charm, and Angel Has Fallen is no exception.

| Jan 28, 2021

Sticks to a predictable formula.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 7, 2020

As with the other films in the Has Fallen trilogy, this latest entry is a thuddingly dull exercise in blokey nonsense.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 16, 2020

Hollywood needs to stop force-feeding the audience dry sequels and provide fresh new stories that give the moviegoers value for money.

| Jul 17, 2020

Every once and awhile, a little junk food cinema is good for the soul.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 8, 2020

Now, this is a poorly made film, but can a good film be made according to this moral framework?

| Jun 30, 2020

How can you pair Gerard Butler and Nick Nolte in a booby-trap-filled compound and not just let them run wild for two hours?

| Original Score: C | Jun 26, 2020

Much more realistic and character driven than the previous ones...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2020

During the brief moments when Butler is given something to work with, it's clear he's a charming and entertaining performer. Then it's back to the killing.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 3, 2020

Gerard Butler takes viewers on a thrill ride as he fights for his reputation and his life.

| Feb 15, 2020

It's frantic in a way that's far more confusing than exciting, making the action scenes more than a little boring.

| Jan 20, 2020

Over the final half of the film ... I spent more time trying to decide whether Nolte or Freeman is now showing his age more.

| Original Score: B - | Nov 29, 2019

Nick Nolte is perfectly cast as Mike's "off the grid - antigovernment" father.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 26, 2019

Unsurprisingly, you won't exactly be intellectually stimulated here, but you probably won't be bored either.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 23, 2019
