PLOT
Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) is the lead Secret Service agent who maintains a personal relationship with president Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) and his family. After an accident gone wrong, he changes the high profile field work for an easier assignments, not knowing that the president will soon need his No. 1 to come and save the day.

REVIEW
I don't want to be disrespectful but this film is just ridiculous! Unrealistic, illogical, over the top attack sequences, too much violence, bad predictable plot and poorly script. No really. What was that? I really don't appreciate lame, cheap, cliché nationalism and portraying North Korea as new terrorist threat. Come on! Thank god for charismatic Gerry and solid cast but even them don't save the film. Movie is a painful experience and one of the worst I've seen this year. I can't believe there'll be a sequel titled London Has Fallen. Why? Don't make your Monday even more depressing, do /watch something else. 1/5
