If it wasn’t for the more believable premise, the moments of fatherhood and Gerard Butler’s performance, this would also be a huge fail. For some audiences that won’t be enough and it’ll come off cold but for others, there is some fun to be had here.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 1, 2024

“London Has Fallen” is an action fan’s dream come true and a worthy follow-up to Mr. Fuqua’s 2013 hit.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 1, 2024

There are a couple of shootouts that are an absolute blast. It’s too bad there isn’t enough surrounding the action to make this worthwhile.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 23, 2022

Even with the lowered expectations established by Antoine Fuqua's original, the sequel, directed by Swedish filmmaker Babak Najafi, manages to underwhelm.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 18, 2022

Instead of plausibility or watertight plotting, what you get with London Has Fallen is more Banning being Banning, which involves lots of takedowns of faceless assailants and macho, foul-mouthed posturing that’s more often than not glaringly racist.

What has changed, spectacularly for the better, is the amount and caliber of the humor.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 5, 2020

This is big, dumb, jingoistic, stripped-down D온라인카지노추천-style action with a studio budget, fronted by a grim, trash-talking hero with homicidal tendencies that would be psychotic in any other realm. If that's your jam, this movie is for you.

| Original Score: A | Jul 3, 2020

While London Has Fallen does touch each of the bases for an action movie home run, it's definitely more of a solo shot than a grand slam.

| Original Score: 7.1/10 | Nov 13, 2019

Gerard Butler does what he does best - be a gritty, intense, no-nonsense hero.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2019

This may be Gerard Butler's best action film yet.

| Oct 16, 2019

If the film has, at best, a sub-par screenplay, its storytelling woes are meaningless compared to the abysmal butchery it makes of its action scenes.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 2, 2019

London Has Fallen suggests the sort of film Leni Riefenstahl might have made had she bade Hitler "Auf Wiederhesen" and trotted off to enjoy a lucrative Hollywood contract under David O. Selznick.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 28, 2019

the underlying nastiness here (aimed mostly at Arabs) makes it feel like cheap propaganda; a comparison not helped by shockingly shoddy special effects.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 10, 2019

It's not that London Has Fallen is hugely different from the original, just that its worst elements have been amplified.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 8, 2019

The film is nothing more than a series of sub-par kinetic sequences, tied together by a plot that is as thin as it is preposterous.

| Feb 14, 2019

London Has Fallen is far better than the original film and Babak Najafi has done an excellent job with the direction. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Feb 14, 2019

Butler's secret service agent character Mike Bannon is a raging, murderous psychopath who takes every possible opportunity to shoot villains in the head and eyes. Specifically those places.

| Jan 27, 2019

The jokes are dire, the politics dodgy, the hero a man from whom every president should run like the wind. But the main action sequence is well done in its scale and relentlessness and there's a terrific product placement for free British tap water.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 10, 2018

I may not have liked Olympus Has Fallen very much, but it felt like All The President's Men compared to this sequel.

| Original Score: D | Nov 4, 2018

Not only an inferior sequel to Antoine Fuqua's devastating city symphony of mayhem, Olympus Has Fallen, but it's a contemptible, ugly and morally corrupt poser of an action film.
