The movie is a sequel to the 2013 'Olympus has Fallen' movie,and part of the 'Has fallen' franchise.

 

The US drops a bomb on a wedding venue in the desert as they try to kill an arms dealer. They fail to kill him,and 2 years later the man comes back with a vengeance.

 

Mike Banning is in charge with protecting the president of the USA, and they leave on short notice to participate at the Uk's prime minister's funeral. Secret Service director even says she hates these kind of outings as they're the worst,being short notice and being unable to prepare enough.

 

Once there, the world's leaders are being taken down one by one with bombings. The last one standing is the US president,and Mike is trying to keep him alive and get him out of London safely.

 

The movie has great action scenes,with great visual effects and fighting scenes. Gerard Butler seemed to have done his own stunts.

 

The actors are all good,I also loved the emotion,the one which comes to mind now,is Angela Bassett's character with a tear on her cheek in one of the first action scenes of the movie.

 

The soundtrack was Ok.

 

The movie is streaming on Netflix and is for rent / sale on Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, Vudu.
