The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyMar 2, 2016
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.

Time Out LondonKate LloydMar 2, 2016
It’s all so overly macho that it plays like a camp pleasure-cruise. Read full review

The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenMar 3, 2016
The action is pumped up. The destruction is extreme. The whole thing is absurd. Read full review

Slant MagazineEd GonzalezMar 2, 2016
Like its predecessor, the film is content to dumbly relish in the inanity of Mike's rampage. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyChristian HolubMar 2, 2016
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. Read full review

Najafi's R-rated London Has Fallen doesn't target the genteel viewer. Rather, it aims squarely for moviegoers who like their action bloody, their fights brutal, their body count sky-high. Read full review

Remember “Olympus Has Fallen”? This one is worse. Read full review

It's all silly and meant to be fun, except when Najafi tries to throw in some serious bits, which wind up being sillier still. Read full review

Total FilmNeil SmithMar 3, 2016
Bloodthirsty, derivative and xenophobic nonsense. Read full review

EmpireWilliam ThomasMar 2, 2016
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. Read full review

Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganMar 2, 2016
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. Read full review

There is some surreal fun at the beginning as everything collapses.... But then it’s the same thing over again. Read full review
