Gerard Butler’s portrayal of the resilient and battle-worn Banning adds a layer of grit to the film, while the dynamic between Butler and Nolte provides emotional depth to the story.

 

The movie was generally well-received by audiences for its action and suspense, though critics had mixed opinions on its plot and pacing. Nevertheless, “Angel Has Fallen” successfully delivers the thrills and explosive action that fans of the series have come to expect.
