LONDON HAS FALLEN (**)

(2016) Silly and over-the-top as Olympus Has Fallen was, it's non-stop lunacy was fun to watch - while often raising the hackles on the back of your red, white and blue neck and made you want to watch Gerard Butler's character decimate the crap out of every single one of the seemingly never-ending group of terrorists who DARED to destroy some of Washington, D.C.'s most revered monuments (White House included).  London Has Fallen keeps some of the over-the-top and ratchets up the silly considerably, as this time out Mike Banning (Butler) is called on to accompany the U.S. President (again played by the square-jawed Aaron Eckhart) to London for the funeral of the British prime minister, who has died under (to say the least) mysterious circumstances.  Leaders from around the world are also attending, and having evidently watched the first movie the band of terrorists in this film go full throttle on ripping apart nearly every landmark in London in order to take many of them out ... but of course it's the American, Mike Banning who, pretty much single-handedly (while barking his lines out the corner of his mouth), becomes determined to save not only his commander-in-chief, but England and possibly the entire world while he's there.  Silly and overblown, the film has a couple well-done action sequences; you may just find your intelligence assaulted with everything in between.  (R)
