I think with these things you have to judge and rate a movie according to its genre. This film lacks any kind of intelligent thought, dialogue or plot, it's a whole heap of silliness but "London has Fallen" is a good action movie. It does what it says on the tin. Fast-paced, violent, cliché-ridden, completely unrealistic - its everything you want and expect from this type of film.
Butler is made for this type of role. He's Bond without the class, and that actually makes him more entertaining in some ways. He's the Bruce Willis of our time. I like him as an action hero.
There are no surprises in this film, Freeman is Vice-President, the Americans (of course) save London by identifying the location of the terrorists, Butler takes charge of the SAS and saves the President... I told you, it's a whole heap of silliness but enjoyable silliness nonetheless.
