Angel Has Fallen really ups the ante in the action-thriller genre. Ric Roman Waugh crafts a gritty atmosphere that’s palpable from the start, as we see Mike Banning, played by Gerard Butler, thrust into a harrowing situation—accused of trying to kill President Trumbull. The pacing is relentless, with intense chase scenes that keep your heart racing. There’s this underlying theme of loyalty and betrayal that makes it more than just a straightforward action flick. Practical effects shine, grounding the high stakes in a reality that feels tangible. Butler delivers a solid performance, balancing vulnerability with the toughness you'd expect from a Secret Service agent. It's a film that feels a bit darker than its predecessors, which gives it a unique edge.
