Alien at the Movies

London Has Fallen

The movie begins with an innocent wife dying and President Asher (Aaron Eckhart) & secret service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) exercising together; then all hell breaks out & threatens the life of the President while Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman) is stuck in the war room with a bunch of generals waiting for Banning to save the day & scream "RPG". Wait, isn't that the same plot as "Olympus Has Fallen"? Well, yippie-kai-yay, cowboy! Audiences won't care because the wild crazy action is ramped way up with a change of venue. This time, they are blowing up & shooting up London. The film isn't realistic but fun to watch this super human secret service agent beat up on the bad guys in symbolic patriotic act of revenge against today's world terrorists. It's a nonstop heart pounding thrill ride with extreme violence & f-bombs dropped as much as the ones destroying London's landmarks.

Alien gives it 3 "live stream execution" stars out of 4.
