Angels Fallen (2020) Movie Review: What to Expect  

The Angels Fallen plot is just as you would expect from a movie like this. It follows the story of an ex-marine, recently blinded by a roadside bomb, who is recruited by a covert CIA unit to help take down the most powerful crime organization in North America. 

Angels Fallen is a Christian movie about the life of an angel, who is a fallen angel. The movie is set in a small town in the south, and tells the story of a teenager, Angel, who has a troubled past and a gift of music. 

Angel has been living on the streets for a while and is struggling to find her way back to the light. After meeting a man from her past, Angel is faced with a decision that will change her future. The film is directed by Christopher Marlowe and stars Bella Thorne, who also wrote the screenplay.

Based on the popular novel series by Joshua Rosenfelt and Frank Wedekind, which was later adapted into a 2001 film starring Samuel L. Jackson and Aaron Eckhart. Pierce Brosnan plays Tom Martin, a Washington DC special investigator who’s working undercover as a diplomat. 

In a secret Washington, there’s a secret conspiracy between an international gang of assassins who want to kidnap the president of the United States and are also involved in the world of human trafficking. Martin will get there too. 

He’s assigned to infiltrate the gang of killers, kill their mastermind, and return back to the US safely. Cameron Richardson, Laura Fraser, and Demián Bichir play the assassins who are sent by an exiled elite assassin known as The Master to kidnap the president.

Angels Fallen (2020) Full Movie Review

Sometimes you want a popcorn action flick, something pithy, entertaining and entertainingly absurd and, as this new addition to the lines of The Equalizer meets The Expendables, the answer is Angels Fall. 

Michael Pena stars as a debauched Secret Service agent who has just returned home to the US after a mission overseas and finds that the national security agencies are doing their best to cover up the information he uncovered. 

So he decides to set up his own private firm. And on the side he takes on clients willing to pay for their tasks – like clearing the way for a guy to meet his estranged daughter. And when said client turns out to be a former Russian president, well that’s bad news for someone – not the former president.

Morgan Freeman, Rosamund Pike, Ethan Suplee, Randy Quaid, Ray Stevenson, Simon Maiden, Marco Mitchell, Kelly McCreary, Bokeem Woodbine, John Finn, Anthony Carmichael, Dusan D'Antonio 

Director: Ted Melfi 

What's Good: 

There’s a lot to like in the movie which keeps the audience engaged. And there’s a lot to be disliked. 

What's Bad: 

You’ll get bored with the over-use of a few cliches and the uninteresting plot which keeps you looking for something better. 

Loo Break: 

If the first hour of the movie is not enough to keep you entertained then at least watch the end where it’s all about fan service and adrenaline rush. 

Watch or Not?: 

You must watch if you want to see an action-packed, thrill-a-minute, sweaty & rather sweaty stunt-filled and downright scary ride.

1752 Kevin Sorbo's demon, Lucifer, is banished to the Netherworld by God. While on Earth, Sorbo works as a stage magician. 2002 Leanne Jones is a Secret Service agent assigned to protect Laura Hayes, a newly-appointed First Lady of the United States. 

Six months after the death of the first First Lady, Laura Hayes receives a package from the body of her predecessor. She unwraps it and, to her horror, finds the corpse of a man who had been used by the National Security Agency to generate fake documents, and eventually to fake a war. 

1975 Joe Barnes is the lead singer of the rock group "Burn It". The lead singer kills his girlfriend, but escapes with his friend. Joe takes the dead girl's identity to take revenge on the people who caused the death of his girlfriend.

Characters

The film begins in Washington D.CEthan (Gerard Butler), Ryan (Scott Foley), Mike (Munis Sistos) and Kate (Hong Chau) are attempting to infiltrate an Eastern European hotel owned by the evil (at least in the story) American corporation TransWorld Group. 

After they manage to break in, the three men find themselves trapped when an enormous cat attack breaks out on the hotel’s upper levels. The transom above them begins to rumble ominously. 

Later that night, the trio are seated in the lobby of the hospital of which they are working. They receive a video message from team leader Egeria (Gabriela Roel) telling them of the worst case scenario. 

They see TransWorld Group founder Titus (Andreas Apergis) coming out of the elevator, saying: “Someone called.

Review

What's the worst that can happen when you're a former Secret Service agent who serves as President Trump's bodyguard? You die. And then, in what may be the most "American Horror Story" scenario possible, you're revived as a terrifying creature when you're no longer on life support. 

That's the premise for the aptly titled Angel Has Fallen, which opens Friday in theaters. Stellan Skarsgård reprises his turn as Frank Underwood, the movie's President. It is Skarsgård's first leading role since Mr. Grey, and he's destined to repeat the trick with something rather like a lot of film in the near future.

Final Thoughts

B-movie lovers rejoice! If you are looking for a mix of gore, zombies, robots, and evil Greek Gods then Angel Has Fallen is your latest movie. Don’t expect much more.

This is a one-time flick to revisit if the plot interests you, otherwise this will make you smile and then walk away feeling extremely satisfied. This is a surprisingly enjoyable film for those who may not know much about a character named Mike Banning and other than the fact that he is “the most powerful demon hunter in the world,” there really is not much to know about the protagonist. 

Actor Gerard Butler has a field day as Mike Banning and it’s possible he’ll bring his appearance in the films he has under contract to him for years to come. Gerard Butler might be a little older but he’s still getting the job done.

Conclusion

Life imitates art as far as 2018 cinema is concerned. And the latest cinematic output that celebrates the 50th anniversary of Vertigo has helped crystallise this with Christian Bale’s portrayal of a Batman-style vigilante in the latest Batman, Robin and Batgirl film, to be released this month. 

But whereas Patrick Bateman – a twisted character with sociopathic tendencies – attempted to cover his deficiencies in charisma and psychology in a balaclava, Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne has attempted to hide his own ineptitude in playing a superhero by diving in head first with charm and sex appeal.
