Review of London Has Fallen (2016) by Eludiumq36 — 09 Sep 2016

This film by a second-film director runs hot and cold. Sometimes you're on the edge of your seat, other times you're throwing popcorn at the screen. The central characters just aren't cast well either.

Aaron Eckhart as a gun-slinging president is a bit too much, and why? We've had a black president for 7 yrs now, why not cast a black guy for the part? And Gerard Butler was great as King Leonidas in "300" but is so many kinds of wrong as head of the presidential security detail.

Then there's the whole premise as to how ANY organization could plot such a sophisticated takedown of London without being found out makes you wonder how this film ever got the green light and funding.

You know why? Because of the platform it gives us to tell the terrorists to bite the big one. There were several moments belonging to Gerard's character and Aaron's that were devoted to telling the terrorists to GTH.

And that's the whole point of the film so that's why it was made and why you watch.
