Our take on The Fall of the President:
The Fall of the President is a feature-length, highly entertaining action blockbuster, packed with explosions and gunfights. It might be a touch too hard-edged in that department, but it’s undeniably effective, delivering eye-popping spectacle from start to finish. The film moves at a brisk pace, punctuated by calmer, welcome moments that let the dialogue breathe.
That said, the film may be a touch too loud, and your ears might pay the price as explosions, car crashes and other shootouts blast at you. Nevertheless, The Fall of the President remains excellent entertainment and will no doubt thrill all the franchise’s fans, as well as lovers of action movies drenched in patriotism and an avalanche of war.
