London Has Fallen

The sequel to the worldwide smash hit Olympus Has Fallen, a non-stop, suspenseful action thriller that delivers high-octane excitement through a heightened sense of authenticity. The visceral intensity springs from a timely premise: after the British Prime Minister passes away, his funeral becomes a target of a terrorist organization to destroy some of the world’s most powerful leaders, devastate the British capital, and unleash a terrifying vision of the future. The only hope of stopping it rests on the shoulders of the President of the United States (Aaron Eckhart) and his formidable Secret Service head (Gerard Butler), and an English MI-6 agent (Charlotte Riley) who rightly trusts no one. Morgan Freeman also stars as the Vice President of the United States.


This is for the most part the same as the original.  The only thing that made this one better was that it took place throughout London instead of just inside the White House.  It's a wannabe Die Hard and succeeds in terms of crazy action and shootouts.  But nothing will ever be as good as Die Hard.  

I would recommend people checking this out if they are fans of these kinds of action movies.  Turn off your brain and enjoy the adrenaline ride for 90 minutes.  If you are looking for something with substance, this is not that movie.
