The Playlist
Brash, brutal, and simplistic in equal measure, it’s a retrograde work that, for better and worse, delivers its old-school mayhem with punishing precision and unrepentant glee. - 60
Time Out London
It’s all so overly macho that it plays like a camp pleasure-cruise. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
While not nearly as elaborate, nor as visually sophisticated as the last Mission: Impossible outing or the most recent Bonds, London Has Fallen is actually more plausible at its core, if not in its details, which is partly why it succeeds in laying claim to an audience's attention for the entirety of its swift running time. - 50
Slant Magazine
Like its predecessor, the film is content to dumbly relish in the inanity of Mike's rampage. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
The new sequel, London Has Fallen, implausibly ups its predecessor’s stakes to "Die Hard in the City of London." Unfortunately, widening the scope this dramatically causes the entire fragile action-movie axis to spin wildly out of control. - 40
The Guardian
There is some surreal fun at the beginning as everything collapses.... But then it’s the same thing over again. - 40
Screen Daily
Creepy “send them back to Fuckheadistan” sentiment overwhelms London Has Fallen’s guilty pleasures, its meaty violence and xenophobic nastiness giving the cheddar an unpleasant aftertaste. - 40
Empire
It’s a film that doesn’t so much invite you to switch off your brain as take it out and dump it in the nearest popcorn box.
