Following the death of the British Prime Minister, the President of the United States travels to London for his funeral.

Critical Reception

London Has Fallen received largely negative reviews from critics, who found it to be a generic and overly violent action film lacking the charm or originality of its predecessor. Audiences, however, were more receptive, appreciating its non-stop action and straightforward entertainment value.

What Reviewers Say

  • A derivative and gratuitously violent action flick.
  • Lacks the slight self-awareness that made the first film palatable.

Google audience: Audience reviews highlight the film's relentless action sequences and straightforward plot as its primary strengths. Many viewers found it to be a satisfyingly explosive, albeit predictable, action movie. Some noted the excessive gore, while others praised its efficient pacing.

Fun Fact

The film was shot on location in London, but due to security concerns and the destructive nature of some scenes, many areas were recreated on sound stages in Bulgaria.
