overall, "Angel Has Fallen" might not present a wholly new or even exciting idea, but [it] kept entertained from start to finish. A solid, if completely unnecessary sequel to a franchise which surely must be on its last legs by now
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
it's not James Bond, but all the better for it; The brazenly idiotic "Has Fallen" franchise, which has been defined by sloppy action beats and perturbing American triumphalism has somehow hit its stride third time round
Gerard Butler's Secret Service killing machine ends the trilogy in entertaining style; It's frenetic, brashly executed and so full of shooting, you'll stagger away with tinnitus
endless, numbing violence in overly long action threequel; Punishingly grim and overly long, this third entry in the "Fallen" series mostly squanders any credit it earned from the previous two outings
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
"Angel Has Fallen" may not be appreciably better than the first two installments of this lower-middle-range "Mission: Impossible" wannabe franchise, but it's actually more fun
