Trivia
Like with Olympus Has Fallen (2013) and London Has Fallen (2016), Morgan Freeman has openly admitted in interviews that he did this movie mainly for the money. As he explained for the previous two: "Money. It's the third in a series it pays better than the first one. I get to play the president again, I'm in a successful series, I'm working with a guy I really admire and like. It's perfect." When asked whether he still felt "fire in his belly" with regard to acting, he said: "I enjoy it, I still enjoy it. I love making movies, but it's more like smouldering embers now."

Goofs
An aide tells the Vice-President that the transfer of power back to a president has never happened in U.S. history. This is incorrect: On July 13, 1985 Ronald Reagan underwent colon cancer surgery while under anesthesia, so Vice-President George Bush discharged the powers and duties of the presidency during his incapacity, serving as acting president until later that day, when Reagan reclaimed his authority. President George W. Bush underwent a colonoscopy procedure on June 29, 2002, and again on July 21, 2007. Vice-President Dick Cheney temporarily became Acting President on both occasions, then power was transferred back to Bush. Additionally on November 19, 2021, President Biden had a colonoscopy and transferred acting president power to Vice-President Harris for 85 minutes.

Quotes
Allan Trumbull: It is our moments of struggle that define us.

During the closing credits, there is a humorous scene where Mike and Clay go into a New Age center for personal mind balance therapy.

This Series Has Not Fallen

After looking at my list for this year, there really aren't that many straight forward action films made anymore. But Angel Has Fallen came at the perfect time, end of August/early September when there's not much else out in theaters, at least blockbuster movie wise. While not better than the first entry 'Olympus Has Fallen', it is certainly superior to 'London Has Fallen' from 2016, and it makes for a nice cap to the 'Has Fallen' trilogy. That is, if this is the end to the series. And look, there's a ceiling to Gerard Butler's acting talent, but he's more than serviceable in a role like this and last year's Den of Thieves. Oh and Nick Nolte? He's so dang good in this movie it feels like he's on an entirely different level than everyone else. I'm here for it.

7.0/10
