Angel Has Fallen
I'm actually a big fan of the first two in this series and their simplistic, oldschool action film aesthetic, but I wasn't so hot on this one. Tonally it was way off from the previous entries - gone is the self-aware, darkly humorous 80s feel, replaced instead by Bourne-lite grittiness that practically every action film seems to go for these days. Yawn. There was no real suspense or intrigue - for instance, it was incredibly obvious who the masterminds behind the villainous plot were going to be from the moment they appear on screen - and overall the movie just felt painfully generic and low-budget, something that really wasn't helped by how obvious it was (even to a Brit) that "America" was actually a combination of rural England and Eastern Europe.
Nick Nolte was great in it though, especially the humorous sequence where his hideout is attacked. Got a few genuine laughs out of that.
