More research needed by this production team

Oh dear oh dear....

Utterly appalling film with the effects of a Christmas toy thrown in. Not only has "No 10 has Fallen", but the cast, the acting and production has fallen! There is something about English films that we just call pull off like the Yanks. The wooden acting for starters and the stereotyping of English government official and the army. All the entire budget went into the odd bang, bit of tomato ketchup for blood and some real poor portrayal of the SAS. I ain't no SAS specialist but I was in the army and it's all just so badly put together. Scenes were badly constructed, dialogue was awful and those crap camera shake effects.

It would of been better if they waited for a few months to save up a bit more money for the budget!

Lets look at the positives

Simon Phillips acting was very good along with a future star in Marissa Porter. In deed they looked to have stepped off a higher value movie.

I remember the Exploding downing street door from a vine on the internet some time ago related to safety in film production. But it did look bloody good.

Some of the writing was clever but it looked like a first draft not much research done.

if the production team read this. please don't make a third we don't need a British die hard trilogy set at these values.

If there is a next time please make sure you have a military consultant, there are plenty out there.

Terrible

What a load of **** Terrible cinematography, acting and generally a waste of time The person who directed it does not have a clue about the SAS or security procedures and protocols in the UK. The ranks are all to pot as well. The hero "Lowe" is called major yet wears a rank of sergeant just gives you an idea of how terrible this really is. The filming of the choreography (Fighting scenes you can actually see that they did not make contact). was terrible. Don't waste your time watching it. The same goes for the prequel to this film. Effects used just gave me a headache is there really any need to zoom in an out as if it was video for a pop song badly edited. Terrible!

90 minutes of my life stolen from me!!

I would have given this film less if I could have! This is without a doubt the worst film I've ever seen. The acting in this film makes a Steve Segal movie look like an Oscar winner!!

Being ex-Forces I try not to pick out things that are incorrect in films however I couldn't stop myself on this occasion. They even got the most basic of things wrong, RANKS ffs you can google it in about 30 seconds. However the one of my biggest bugbears is COBRA! Why oh why use a picture of a cobra on the briefing screen??

Save yourself do not watch this film!!! You've already wasted too much time by reading this review!!

Avoid

Ever been sat at a bar and struck up a conversation with some social reject who swears he used to be in the SAS? When most likely the closest he ever got to the SAS was listening to an audiobook of an Andy McNab novel.

This is a film made by that guy, and it's about as believable as his barfly stories. Every single aspect of this is woeful.

The first 20-30 mins are nothing but a muddled recap of the previous film in the series, which I've had the good fortune of not seeing. Once the story finally begins, it's just one wooden scene after another with jarring video effects thrown in, trying (and failing) to make the on-screen action remotely interesting.

If you're even contemplating this as a dumb-but-fun action film -- don't. There's maybe 10 mins of action in the whole thing, and it's appallingly bad.

Walk away and go see a documentary on the Iranian Embassy siege, or many of the other fine drama-docs on the SAS that portray them as they are, and not this insult to their name.

What a joke

The worst film i've watched, the acting was horrendous, the story line was copied from other films, the entire film was packed with inaccuracies and the set looked more like Downton Abbey that 10 Downing Street. Don't waste your time on this film at all, it was frustrating to watch and a complete embarrassment for everyone involved. I'm surprised to learn that the film had a budget of £3million to be honest, it looked like it was made by a sixth form media student with no knowledge of the military in the UK at all. There were moments in the film where i found myself laughing at the awful quality of production and i can't imagine the actors and actresses in this movie will be successful in the future if this is the best they can do! What an absolute joke!

Wow - Can a movie be this bad

Never thought a movie could be this bad.Actually the worst movie that i have ever seen. I sure hope that this movie is nominated for the Rasberry awards - it would clean up at the awards. Worst acting, worst scenes, worst screen play, worst plot. The only upside is that you have to keep watching as you don't believe how bad the acting is.The filming of the choreography (Fighting scenes you can actually see that they did not make contact). was terrible. Don't waste your time watching it. The same goes for the prequel to this film. Effects used just gave me a headache is there really any need to zoom in an out as if it was video for a pop song badly edited. Terrible!

Die Hard at 10 Downing Street

The sequel to Paul Tanter's He Who Dares continues to follow the Special Air Service (SAS) anti-hijacking counter-terrorism team. In this thriller, Christopher Lowe finds himself summoned to 10 Downing Street to be dishonorably discharged from the SAS for disobeying a direct order, despite the fact that he saved the Prime Minister's only daughter.

Merissa Porter takes over the role of martial arts sidekick from the brilliant Zara Pythian from the first film, and whilst she is'nt given much to bring to her role as Cassie, who it turns out is Pythian's characters sister, does show amazing coolness in the explosion scene when the door of Number 10 flies off it's hinges, barely missing her. Exceptional filming or bad health and safety protocol?, you decide. The back bencher who becomes Lowe's ally in the early part of the film, and who gets shot, deserved really to come out of the carnage alive. It did seem a bit odd that, when Lowe rescues a group of hostages, he never mentions him slumped bleeding to death in the toilets!. Whilst there are a few minor glitches in the narrative, for example why, when the government whip was murdered, no one in Downing Street deactivated his pass card?. However, if little things like this were addressed, where would the fun be in a film?. Low budget, but not low entertaining, Downing Street Siege ticks all the boxes for the action film fan.

Under Siege lives again in a quintessentially British setting

Steven Seagal would be right at home when a crack SAS officer finds himself inside Number 10 Downing Street (official residence of the UK Prime Minister) just as it is being stormed by a gang of ruthless and heavily armed bad guys.

Though it is suspenseful and action packed, it is really a spoof of the action genre. Funny and ridiculous it pokes fun at the stuffy political elite and even the hero, ably portrayed by Tom Benedict Knight, is shown to be a clown. Simon Phillips as Holt, the dastardly leader of the baddies in the mold of the Joker, takes his role well.

Clearly not a movie to be taken seriously it is nonetheless enjoyable and I managed to get all the way to the end without skipping forward hardly at all!

This film is shocking

This is the worst film I have ever seen, it is absolutely shocking, the filmography is terrible and so are the effects. The language is bad and excessive and the plot is appalling. I had to pay £5.50 to watch this, biggest waste of money in my entire life. All of the characters are unconvincing, the villain is a chubby loser who is about as threatening as a Mr blobby, and the hero is an unshaven numpty. The villain seems to be a mixture of the Michelin man and sad unfunny failing comedian. The fight scenes in this film look like something a 6 year old child could put together in a stop motion project. The blood effects are worse than anything I have ever seen before. It is so unbelievably bad, I don't know who let this film get published but the people who put it together are a bunch of clowns. Do not watch this film

If I could rate this 1 star I would

Not sure if this movie was just simply made to launder drug money. Or maybe someone quit their job as an accountant at Tesco's because they thought they had the making of a great screen writer.

The script - appalling

The acting - my god; surely none of the people in this call themselves actors. The person playing the lead (I cant even be bothered to look him up on a separate tab) didn't even bother to research his own part or any background to it - obviously hoped the director would tell him everything he needed to do. The rank is wrong (he wears a Corporals rank rather than Major - Not easily confused). The salute is worse than Basil Fawlty/Gordon Brittas. Did he grow crap facial hair for the role.

Do not waste the click of looking at the synopsis on Netflix.

The cast and crew should be 'put down'.

--- By the way this parody has better acting and a more solid script https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K72-9oXsG30

Waste of Time

Well that's 90 minutes of my life I won't get back again. Good grief I have seen some crap films before but this tops the list, as has been said by others I will echo it, wooden acting, horrendous fight scenes, special effects that really need work.

The Army ranks that are used are so wrong, the "hero" is a Major in the SAS and is wearing the rank of a Corporal, he is not wearing anything to denote he is a member of the SAS, Medals are wrong, not mounted right, saluting like an American and without Headdress off, doesn't happen. The Chief of the General Staff, where to start with that t**t, and the same with the "Lieutenant General" (Major) in the COBRA room. with a little bit more research and time spent this could have been a really good film, however this was a car crash on top of a train wreck flattened by a plane and then battered by a nuke just for good measure.

As a side note, if the writer had bothered to ask either serving military or even ex-military he could have got that bit right (maybe), the same goes for the police side of things, I know it is supposed to be fiction, but at least try to make an effort to get things correct.

What a load of rubbish! Awful movie!

He Who Dares: Downing Street Siege - One would have thought that when making a movie with the main character allegedly being a "Major" in the SAS, that Paul Tanter would have ensured that at the very least he got the uniform correct! Not only does "Major" Lowe appear wearing the uniform of a corporal, whilst all and sundry address him as major, the medals on his uniform are completely incorrect as well. And then, to top it all, the so-called "Lieutenant-General" in the Cobra room is wearing the rank markings of a major, and just to be sure, he's wearing them as collar dogs as well! Poor plot, poor directing, and generally as waste of time to watch.

Maybe worse than the first

The first was bad but has some redeemable qualities. It would be more excusable if it would have been a debut director from people that claim to have done lots of previous films, it was bad! I gave the 2nd one a chance after seeing some hype around it. oh dear, was i disappointed. Shoddy directing, terrible acting (simon phillips trying to be tough again) and that constant tough guy talk that is as if its written by a 14 year old! With the white collar movies that became laughable after the first, i will be praying these guys don't make another 'heist' movie, if you'd even call it that! i think these producers, writers, directors need to watch some movies before to make anymore. and maybe cast someone other than simon phillips to play the lead.

Very good!!!

The overwhelming negative reviews are NOT entirely off the mark: the research might be awful, the plot predictable and some of the acting wooden ... However, this is a brilliant film, if you like simple action movies. The film would be pretty average (there are many other movies on the Die Hard tradition, including some about the White House falling into enemy hands) ... but what makes it excellent is the villain Alex Holt (Simon Phillips) ... He is SOOOO funny! I found his script-lines totally hilarious, although perhaps much of the humour would be lost to non-British viewers!

I did not think the first film (He who dares) was anything to write home about, but this sequel is great entertainment.

Brains out! Pop corn in!

Dire, don't bother wasting even a moment of your life

What can I say other than this is probably the worst film I'm seen, ever!

You may feel you could ignore that it's full of inaccuracies which any decent film maker would have done something about - since when has the Prime Minister travelled in a London minicab / private hire car?! Why does a major wear a corporal's uniform? They couldn't even get the front door of Downing Street to look right!

But even if you could overlook that then you'd have to cope with some of the worst script writing and awful acting which doubles the pain.

I stopped watching it after 20-25 minutes and I'm now going to watch paint dry to attempt to salvage my evening.

yes

i thought the acting in TOWIE was bad but they are class compared to this lot, the plot was bad had more holes than a Swiss cheese, the acting was more chipboard than wooden, i only kept watching it in the vain hope it would get better but sadly i was wrong. If i could give it a - score i would, how they managed to waste 3 million on it i will never know .

Truly Awful

From the start my suspicions were that it was not going to be what I had hoped. The moment the SAS trooper turned and knocked on the door of No10 I was reaching for the off button. "Major" Lowe (?) turned up in a Corporals uniform from what looked the Medical Corps (the RAMC serving or veterans Will be mortified) he was immediately referred to as Major despite his shiny white two stripes on his arm, he strode into meeting of some dodgy characters reading their lines from hidden notes and cast up a salute while his cap was under his arm. To make matters worse the salute, if it could be called that was rather like one made by John Wayne about the US Cavalry! This film is a travesty, it lack authenticity, a script or even a shred of credibility. Avoids it at all costs before the SAS come calling which they may do when searching fir the director and script writers.
