Film review: AngelHasFallen
may not be appreciably better than the first two installments of this lower-middle-rangewannabe franchise, but it's actually more fun — first and foremost because of a vastly amusing turn by Nick Nolte as Gerard Butler's eccentric Vietnam vet old coot father.
Still, it doesn't take long for Banning to once again prove that one of him, however diminished he may be, is worth a dozen of anyone else when it comes to protecting the President of the United States, who, in a bit of wish-fulfillment fantasizing, is played by Morgan Freeman and not, let's say, by Alec Baldwin.
But what thanks does he get for his heroism? Instant blame for the whole bloody fiasco from Vice-President Kirby , who insists that Banning is in cahoots with the Russians, has him charged with the attempted murder of the president and is immediately sworn in as acting president. Waugh's background is as a stuntman, and he no doubt put a lot of his old cohorts to work on this one; bodies go flying every 20 minutes or so, as Banning at one point escapes in, of all things, a big rig, and you begin to think you're bearing witness to the reincarnation of Hal Needham.
