London has fallen is a thriller based on the infamous 9/11 terrorist attacks. In this tense action flick, the world leaders gather in London to discuss the death of the British prime minister. But a devastating attack has already begun, leaving the world in fear. As U.S. President Benjamin Asher falls into the hands of a sinister organization, Secret Service agent Mike Banning is forced to save him.
Director Babak Najafi has a history of making action movies and he’s clearly no exception. The film is filled with gratuitous violence and hateful attitudes towards non-Americans. But the film’s inept direction has left London Has Fallen with little to cheer about. It’s not mindless fun, but it’s a right-wing propaganda piece that should be avoided. It’s an extremely disturbing film, and one that deserves a higher rating.
London Has Fallen has a lot in common with the first film. In it, the world leaders come to London to pay respect to the Prime Minister. Terrorists infiltrate the security forces and make them do terrible things. They’re led by a Middle Eastern arms dealer who wants revenge for a drone attack. Unlike the original, this one follows the same plot, but is more brutal.
The action-thriller London Has Fallen is a sequel to the hit Olympus Has Fallen. The plot revolves around a funeral for a former British prime minister. The funeral is an important event for western world leaders, and it turns out to be a dangerous affair. The action is so intense, that the film’s audience can’t help but feel the angst.
Although London Has Fallen is a solid film, it is no match for its predecessor. It’s a terrible, but enjoyable action thriller. It follows a group of world leaders to London to attend the funeral of the British Prime Minister. It starts suspiciously enough, but then explosions and bloodletting break out. As the movie progresses, we discover that the North Korean terrorists have infiltrated the police and the Queen’s Guard.
While the film’s action sequences are impressive, it lacks the depth they need to keep audiences entertained. The director relies on grandiose shots of the city to make the film seem authentic. The soundtrack, composed by Trevor Morris, is loud and melodramatic. However, it is less of a distraction when the film gets to the nitty-gritty of the plot.
The sequel to Die Hard is a thinly disguised propaganda film. Despite its strong cast and a promising storyline, London Has Fallen is an underrated, tired remake of the classic. While it stars Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman, the movie is a blatant knockoff of the original. The premise is that the non-white people in the United States are untrustworthy and pose a deadly threat.
