He Who Dares: Downing Street Siege

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.

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.

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.

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!

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
