The Fallen series might not have been the most obvious franchise in the making, but with three movies under its belt, it most certainly has become one - and the flicks are reliable moneymakers, with Angel grossing $147 million worldwide on a mere $40 million budget. Yet, despite enduring a trilogy's worth of large-scale terror attacks, he has never once lost a president - in fact, over the course of the danger-filled films, the presidency arguably receives an upgrade, from Aaron Eckhart to Morgan Freeman. Most recently, he moved into ecclesiastical territory in 2019's Angel Has Fallen, where Banning himself had to go on the run in an attempt to uncover yet another plot against the president. Then, there was London Has Fallen, where terrorists wrecked the entire city of London. Casting Gerard Butler in the Bruce Willis role of maverick terrorist-foiling lone.
First, there was Olympus Has Fallen, where the White House faced a terrorist attack. London Has Fallen starring Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart (Image credit: David Appleby) The mayhem moves to London, along with Gerard Butlers gung-ho US secret service agent, but this action thriller sequel is even more jingoistic and dumb than its predecessor. Olympus Has Fallen (2013), directed by Antoine Fuqua, hauled in 170 million worldwide, while Babek Najafi’s London Has Fallen (2016) earned 205 million and Angel Has Fallen took in another. Meanwhile, very little chemistry is shared with his president-in-peril/BFF Eckhart, while returning players, including Freeman as the Vice President and Melissa Leo as the Secretary of Defence, are not really given anything to do and, just like the audience watching, spend most of the time looking bemused.Gerard Butler's Secret Service agent Mike Banning has witnessed a great many falling things over the last few years. Reprising his role as the snarling and growling agent Banning, Butler is no Bruce Willis and while he may be well-equipped for the physical side of the job, he lacks the charm and wit needed for the audience to connect – he isn’t much better in Gods of Egypt either. Similarly, the R-Rated anarchy and violent action sequences, while brutal, also come across as unnecessary and, in the context, of the silly plot, completely over-the-top. John and Christian Gudegast.
The White House got an unwelcome visit from paramilitary terrorists twice this year, in Antoine Fuqua's Olympus Has Fallen and Roland Emmerich's White House Down. London Has Fallen is a 2016 American action thriller film directed by Babak Najafi and written by Creighton Rothenberger, Katrin Benedikt, Chad St. The film takes itself a little too seriously, falling back on John McClane-inspired cheesy one-liners to keep things ticking, but to no real effect. Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart and Morgan Freeman must save the day (again) in 'London Has Fallen', a sequel to 'Olympus Has Fallen' that will begin production in 2014.
Can Mike save President Asher once more and take him to safety before the terrorists get a hold of him and broadcast his beheading live for the whole world to see?įrom the spectacularly ludicrous script to the sloppy visuals, London Has Fallen is not much different to its predecessor sure, the location has changed, but the story is still as ridiculous as they come.

However, once there, they find themselves the targets for Pakistani arms dealer, Aamir Barkawi (Aboultboul), who is very quick to launch a series of synchronized terrorist attacks, killing several top leaders and reducing London’s historic landmarks to rubble in the process. Debating whether to retire and seek a slightly less perilous career now that he and his wife Leah (Mitchell) are expecting their first child, Mike’s plans are soon put to rest when the British Prime Minister unexpectedly dies and President Asher, along with several other leaders from all around the world, are to London to attend the funeral. The film picks up three years after the events from Olympus Has Fallen, with Mike Banning (Butler) now working as the Head of Protection for President Benjamin Asher (Eckhart). The President of the United States of America has once again found himself in a bit of a pickle and it’s up to hard-as-nails Secret Service agent, Mike Banning, to find a way out in the madly unnecessary follow-up to the 2013’s equally superfluous, Olympus Has Fallen, the bigger, but not necessarily better, London Has Fallen. London Has Fallen the sequel to the bafflingly popular Olympus Has Fallen was a huge hit and has prompted producers to go ahead with plans to make a third film and thus complete the Has Fallen trilogy.
