La Chute du président

If you enjoyed the previous 2 movies, this movie follows the same simple formula but it's a very nice 3rd movie. Don't go in expecting a deep story, some actors just scream bad guy straight away and make everything predictable, go in just to enjoy the nice combat scenes and fast paced action. Overall it's a nice film to just enjoy without thinking too much about it.

After looking at my list for this year, there really aren't that many straight forward action films made anymore. But Angel Has Fallen came at the perfect time, end of August/early September when there's not much else out in theaters, at least blockbuster movie wise. While not better than the first entry 'Olympus Has Fallen', it is certainly superior to 'London Has Fallen' from 2016, and it makes for a nice cap to the 'Has Fallen' trilogy. That is, if this is the end to the series. And look, there's a ceiling to Gerard Butler's acting talent, but he's more than serviceable in a role like this and last year's Den of Thieves. Oh and Nick Nolte? He's so dang good in this movie it feels like he's on an entirely different level than everyone else. I'm here for it.

7.0/10

I love me some Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman, but Nick Nolte is the best thing to happen to this film.

This is a good film, but they definitely shouldn't make anymore, as much as I like seeing the "president's guardian angel" on screen again it is definitely being milked now. In my opinion these have gotten progressively worse since Olympus Has Fallen and should stop where they are before it turns into a bad film franchise. But except for that it is a good showing of action and lives up to the story of the last 2 films. A solid recommendation from me.

I like this movie it provides more of the same as its predecessors.

I did find myself comparing it to The Fugitive (and no its not as good) but perhaps unfairly as Angel is not looking for drama so much as action.

At the end of the movie I left hoping to see another addition to the series, so I guess that is a good indication of how I felt about the movie.

Next one maybe a mash up...Taken Has Fallen?
