London Has Fallen

Director: Babak Najafi

Actors: Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, and Morgan Freeman

Summary:

This movie evolves the President of the United States (POTUS) being a wanted man by Middle Eastern Terrorists based on his previous attempt to kill the leader. Years later the prime minister of England is suddenly dead and it calls for a funeral in London requiring the presence of major leaders across the world on short notice. Little do these major leaders know that the Middle Eastern Terrorists have a plan to assassinate them all in order to get revenge on the US by capturing the POTUS with no regard for the damage done to London in meantime. The POTUS has his special guard with him (Gerard Butler) whose job it is to lead the POTUS out of London.

My Review:

I’m a sucker for action movies and seeing cities fall apart. I really enjoyed how London was destroyed in this movie. Some parts in the movie had some poor or laughable acting. Overall Gerard Butlers role was played very well, I was sold on the fact that he was serving as a hero in risking his life to make sure the POTUS was safe with minimised harm being caused. The ending was predictable but very exciting and slightly unique which was good to see. Overall I would recommend it to those that similar to me enjoy seeing cities being destroyed mixed in with a bit of action and purpose.

My Rating:

7/10
