Angel has fallen's reviews
Media reviews
Fotogramas
The best: Danny Huston and Nick Nolte, understanding their characters and giving everything. The worst: that intriguing of the White House.
The Hollywood Reporter
It's all utterly preposterous, and yet Waugh handles the big scenes pretty well.
The Wrap
No one has ever accused a Gerard Butler action movie of being too smart, but ?Angel Has Fallen? operates on such a level of half-considered logic and improbable motivations that even moderately well-mounted action can?t distract audiences from how dumb it is.
El País
The relay of directors marks a path of progressive expressive neglect that, in this last title, is also accompanied by a clear general impersonality. (...) seems to have forgotten which series it belongs to.
El Mundo
The script seems more elaborate than usual, balancing pure action with suspense while solvent production seeks to provide novel scenarios.
El Periódico
That this third installment is the least ridiculous of the saga does not prevent it from being very much, and its action scenes are too repetitive and not strong enough.
The Guardian
As with Den of Thieves, Angel falls into the ?lively mediocrity? category of Butler schlock.
Empire
A big, lumbering bastard of an action movie sequel. It achieves more-or-less exactly what it promises ? which, given this franchise?s track record, is a low bar to clear.
The Washington Post
Most action flicks would settle for thrilling violence and mayhem, in service of a utilitarian plot. ?Angel? flips this formula on its head, delivering a surprisingly coherent story but with no discernible sense of fun.
Indiewire
Angel Has Fallen is the kind of movie that leaves you feeling restless and thinking about dinner long before the third act, but anyone who sticks it out until the bitter end will be rewarded with one of the greatest mid-credits sequences ever devised.
Variety
The plot ? which is to say, the plot against the president ? is, once again, a violently overwrought confection of ?topical? comic-strip ludicrousness; that?s the DNA of the ?Fallen? series. Yet when you?re watching a big-budget B-movie, there?s good preposterous and there?s bad preposterous.
