El presidente de los Estados Unidos, Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman) queda en coma tras un intento de asesinato. Su siempre confidente, el agente secreto Mike Banning (Gerard Butler), es injustamente acusado de perpetrarlo.

Al margen de la ley y de su propia agencia, Banning tendrá que encontrar a los verdaderos culpables, aliándose esta vez con la persona más inesperada… Ahora su objetivo es limpiar su nombre, proteger a su familia y salvar, sin el apoyo del FBI, al país de un peligro inminente.

The talented Ric Roman Waugh has done some decent prison stuff and now he serves up the best installment of the trilogy, which frankly shocked me because the trailers didn’t have me expecting much. It's very much in the vein of The Fugitive with Gerard Butler going against everybody. The film is an intense ride from start to finish with perfect music, pumping action, a decent bad guy, unexpected twists and turns and a pretty pissed off Butler (the drone scene a awesome), and Nick Nolte is great with his forest traps. A very nice surprise, I unexpectedly enjoyed this one and will award the film the B-movie of the year award at the end of the year. 85%.

A solid, straightforward genre movie whose sole aim is to entertain. It’s certainly better than the second one in the series, which was really over-the-top. The plot twists are formulaic and predictable, but also entertaining with the enchanting scene in which the granddad is introduced to Nolte’s family, leading to an impressive climax. Butler is no spring chicken anymore, but he still delivers the goods. I’m satisfied with this movie.

You only need to watch the first ten minutes to know how everything will turn out. It's only a question of how many bad guys Butler will slaughter and whether one or more buildings will explode. I commend the refreshing addition of Nick Nolte as a long-estranged father, and some good moments and good action ideas – especially the opening scene on the river and the last fight, which ironically was probably the most believable and also very short. It's incredible how the demolition of the hospital looks super-realistic and loads of other scenes are terribly dodgy. For one viewing for fans of the franchise, or action movies, it's probably OK, but please don't add any more sequels.

There’s been a lot that has fallen around Mike Banning, so I wasn't surprised that, eventually, he himself wasn’t an exception. Gerard Butler isn’t getting any younger, just like the rest of us, so the presidential bodyguard he portrays begins to suffer from the pains of aging, too. On the other hand, I have to admit that the protagonist fought his ailments just like he fought his opponents, and, in the end, he beat arthritis on points. Angel Has Fallen is not an amazing film, it’s quite predictable, and I wasn’t all that impressed by it, but it wasn’t boring, which is the point.

Compared to the rather shoddy London Has Fallen, this movie does at least have a better script, so it's not a complete waste of time to watch it. For instance, the scenes concerning the drone attack on the American president and his bodyguards are quite impressive, but otherwise, in my opinion, this is pretty mediocre. (50%)
