Angel Has Fallen Reviews
LOVED IT. Action packed from start to finish & the cast is amazing. How can you go wrong with Butler and Freeman together? Excellent
Yes this is a boys film but it’s also a brilliantly crafted action thriller, up there with the die hard films. I’ve loved everything Gerard Butler has done. All three films in this trilogy are excellent.
This movie is the second best out of the trilogy and it had me on the edge of my seat.
Meat and Potatoes action movie that doesn't fall into too much stupidity, which many run-of-the-mill action movies do. Entertaining, but don't expect a masterpiece.
Angel Has Fallen is the third installment in the Has Fallen series but is watchable as a standalone if you happen to stumble upon the movie unprepped like I did. This movie delivers the average, enjoyable political action ride one should expect, packed with high risk, restless pursuits, and light drama. The story follows Secret Services (USSS) Agent Mike Banning who high-tech criminals frame for the attempted assassination of the President of the United States (POTUS). He not only has to evade pretty much all task forces trying to capture him but also unravel what is behind this seemingly elaborate plan. Except the plan is rather simplistic. And the perpetrators obvious. Fans of brainfart action genre should find joy in the shallow story packed with testosterone. The plot points have a lot of convenience to keep the momentum. Escorting a high-grade criminal uses the effective force of only 6 law officers. Task Force dismisses pursuit of the suspect of attempting to assassinate the POTUS just because. FBI dismisses potential lines of investigation due to obvious, in-the-face evidence. If you are expecting an in-depth thriller with intricate treason and corruption storyline, forget it. Fret not, though: Angel Has Fallen is entertaining. Main character Mike Banning is the average macho type. Former Army Ranger, struggling with life, has a wife and a daughter, and a past he is resentful towards, all one could ask from a testosterone-driven man in pursuit of war. He is highly skillful, as we can see from the opening scene, to justify how he can take down everyone alone — of course, Angel Has Fallen has the one scene “stand your ground here while I go around knocking out everyone and saving the day.” He does endure some light drama during the story, but that is only to give him glimpses of humanity. His internal conflicts are background concerns. Director Roman Waugh gets the spotlight to direct the third installment on the Has Fallen series, after his relative success with movies like Snitch and Shot Caller. He went on to write the script for Angel Has Fallen in association with Matt Cook (known for Patriots Day) and Robert Mark Kamen (known for The Karate Kid, The Transporter, Taken, this due is no stranger to the action genre). In Angel Has Fallen, Roman Waugh prefers a fast-paced editing, a ticking clock series of events that only stops when the movie ends. He gives us little time to catch our breath before setting the motion again for the inevitable finale. Angel Has Fallen delivers on its premise of a high-profile, political action-driven movie. You can watch it as part of the series or just go for it unknowingly without watching the previous two installments, both ways work. As a lightweight entertainment piece, this movie gets it right.
The critics just have it in for Gerard Butler for this whole trilogy. This last installment is superb mastering the mix of heroes we root for, villains we despise, and action sequences that suck us in. Like the first two, you're on the edge of your seat for most of the duration. This film was incredibly entertaining. Nick Nolte was fantastic! Great to see him in this film. I think all 3 films are classics of the action genre.
Apesar de não ter grandes novidades, é melhor do que o segundo filme!
The first movie did a great job of introducing the franchise and the last movie did a great job of setting an ending for a franchise. It did a great job as an entertaining movie
This movie is so unbelievable it’s beyond horrible. Don’t waste your time.
CGI they can’t do very well but I enjoy to watching a action scene actually it a good movie
I can't even watch it - even though I want to. As soon as seeing Jada Pinket Smith, I was just immediately distracted by and reminded of 'The Slap'. Has just watched the first 2 'Has Fallen' movies, loved them, and assume this is otherwise great as well. I just can't. Sorry Gerard, Lance, and others. Sorry filmmakers. F***in Will Smith man what the hell....
It was a really good movie. Very instructive. I really liked it. I will watch it again later.Also, I really like the small details of the movie.
Background was very fantastic
It follows a failed attempt by authorities to assassinate US President Allan Trumbull. Desperate to uncover the truth, he soon turns to allies who can't help clear his name and save his country from danger. It's a very interesting movie.
Authorities take Secret Service agent Mike Banning into custody for the failed assassination attempt of U.S. President Allan Trumbull. After escaping from his captors, Banning must evade the FBI and his own agency to find the real threat to the president. Desperate to uncover the truth, he soon turns to unlikely allies to help clear his name and save the country from imminent danger.
Politically insensitive. Monetizing destabilization and terrorism?? I hope a green screen was used in the closing scene with the G20 - American ACTORS standing next to Putin.
Main reason to watch is Morgan Freeman. His expression, responses are decent. Highly recommended
they tried something new with this movie and I think they did good job , some things weren't that great and other ones were very good . I dont know what I should think about that Mike is meeting his Dad , I mean surely this turned at the end of the movie to a wholesome moment but it wasn't really necessary ,but I really loved the final battle , so much great action fight scenes , just how you know it from the has fallen trilogies ,I kinda wish that Morgan freeman did more in that movie but overall I think this was a pretty solid movie to watch.
Mediocre with some good action scenes - kept in line with the first two movies in this trilogy.
Out of the 3 Fallen films this one was the most entertaining. Less America F*** yeah! And so more enjoyable. But that doesn't mean I'm rushing to watch it again, I probably won't watch this film again and most probably should stay away
