In fact, none of the performances here are phoned in. Freeman shows great aptitude for the presidency and should consider running — then he could play the president onscreen and off. And as the vice president, Tim Blake Nelson finally gets a role worthy of his depth. Read full review

It is a doom-invoking, cathartic and strangely satisfying head-trip that’s also a bit ridiculous. Read full review

It’s frenetic, brashly executed and so full of shooting, you’ll stagger away with tinnitus. Read full review

Given the awfulness of its predecessor, which was this publication’s pick for the worst film of 2016, a sequel that’s merely pedestrian represents a dramatic improvement. Read full review

Butler is convincingly sturdy as Banning, but the film’s politics are shaky. Read full review

John Nugent

Aug 21, 2019

A big, lumbering bastard of an action movie sequel. It achieves more-or-less exactly what it promises — which, given this franchise’s track record, is a low bar to clear. Read full review

The sleepy, dopey action bonanza Angel Has Fallen is disappointing, and not just for the reasons you might expect. Read full review

Great movie! Gerard Butler is fantastic. The absence of previous key characters is noticeable but the addition of Mike's father is a big bonus

When you see a movie that doesnt makes you miss the first one, it deserves a good rating. Eventhough i preferred the other president.

Not a bad movie at all. Action scenes are good. The movie is a little different compared to previous two but still watchable, it's almost like Taken 3 storyline but with more actions.

A pretty entertaining movie but not the most original story. The acting from Nick Nolte was phenomenal. Jada Pinkett Smith, Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman, and Piper Perabo also gave terrific performances. The action sequences and visual effects were awesome. The music was great.

It seemed after the mixed reviews for Phantom something went wrong though he has made a good living overall making a total of 42 movies of which the last dozen have mainly been in the action genre which "Angel Has Fallen" definitely fits. All in all it probably has one of the highest body counts, countless violent scenes and surprise, surprise a few, very few, quiet scenes first with his wife and baby and then with his father, the latter played by Nick Nolte, who I have been a fan of since 1974 on television in "Rich Man, Poor Man".… Expand

Completely terrible thriller that somehow manages to be even less entertaining than the previous two. Awful acting, boring action and an eye-rolling plot.
