Michael Ledo There is no real mystery in the film. A terrorist (Alon Aboutboul) who lives in rubble is also a world class arms dealer who needs to create terror and wars to sell arms. Once you get past that, we are introduced to Michael (Gerald Butler) whose job is to protect the president (Aaron Eckhart) in a formula film. When the Prime Minister of England dies, 28 head of states go to London for the funeral and to watch the special effects unfold as London is attacked both with explosions and by cyber. Only Gerald Butler can save the Prez.The production is a formula action film. There are no real twists, Aaron Eckhart was very stiff as President if not miscast. This action film has no hot Asian chicks, daring to go against the grain of recent productions. If you like action films with big explosions, good special effects, lots of gun play, and you don't have to think, this is it.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

sddavis63 Gerard Butler was called back into service as Secret Service agent Mike Banning, in this sequel to the movie "Olympus Has Fallen." It's much the same story - Banning has to protect the US president from a bunch of bad guys. In this case it's stereotypical Middle Eastern terrorists who are the villains. To state the positive first - if the only thing you care about in a movie is action, then "London Has Fallen" works. Once the terrorist attack (or attacks) start - this doesn't lose steam. It just keeps going and going and going like its on steroids. But personally I like even an action story to be at least semi-coherent; a little bit logical; to have a bit of a believable story. On those points, this one fails big time - and it all fails because of what I can only interpret as American jingoism on the part of the movie makers.The basic story revolves around a trip by the US President (again played by Aaron Echkart, as in "Olympus ...") to London at attend the funeral of the British Prime Minister. Banning - who wants to take time off because of the impending birth of his first child - gets drafted to accompany him. What could go wrong on a trip to London anyway? As it turns out - a lot, and here's where it falls apart. The British - MI6, Scotland Yard and pretty much everybody else - come across as dunces. Seriously - they have leaders from all over the world in their city and we're expected to believe that this could happen? There wasn't only a terrorist attack - there were multiple terrorist attacks, killing leaders and taking down iconic landmarks in the city. It was 9/11 times 10. And then we were supposed to believe that somehow the terrorists had so completely infiltrated the British police that there wasn't only a mole near the top - even many if not most of the officers on the ground were a part of this attack. And then we're expected to believe that on British soil the British military is going to start looking helplessly to Mike Banning for instructions on what to do and how to handle this. Seriously? I mean - seriously?On the seriousness scale, this movie falls completely apart. Lots of good action - and lots of excitement - but I just couldn't buy into most of what I saw happening on screen.

adfilicium I was expect some hollywood movie with bad ending. like the president will killed. just like The man in the high castle series.

E_Buzz_Miller More like, "Script Standards Have Fallen". Was this an exercise in how much money will it take for these great actors to sell themselves out? This movie had to have been written for The Simpsons' McBain. Not even a good popcorn movie. Fortunately, most Londoners who survived The Bliz have passed away so they didn't have to suffer again by having to watch this movie.
