Hello Hivers!
Hopefully, you and your family are always healthy, and there will be no new cases of Covid-19. Well, we will discuss the film. As we know, this is the third film with the same franchise, how do we call this franchise, I only remember the same word "Has Fallen" LOL. The point is to save the president of the United States.
Angel Has Fallen (2019)
Angel Has Fallen is a continuation of the Olympus Has Fallen and London Has Fallen films. But in my opinion, this third one is presented in a better style than the previous two films.
It was great, meeting old friends. Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) felt this again when he did a joint exercise with private security forces led by his former military colleague Wade Jennings (Danny Huston).
The dilemma he felt when he became the presidential bodyguard (Secret Service Agent) was not a matter of action and the risk of disability he had to accept, but how he divided his time with the small family he already had. Banning seemed to lose direction and had wanted to retreat. However, unexpected events have dragged him back in various battles.
Directed by Ric Roman Waugh whom we know through Snitch (2013), it is still mediocre, there is a little reflection, and in this film, we are faced with a Banning dilemma, as I described above. Plus, the enemy keeps trapping him, from the stunning advanced drone strikes in the first scene of the film that become the source of big trouble for Banning.
It was then, Banning was accused of being the mastermind behind the assassination of President Alan Trumbull. After the terrible drone attack tragedy occurred, almost all of the presidential guard troops died while accompanying the President when fishing in a lake.
Besides watching Banning's very exciting actions, we are faced with a man who stole the show, he is Clay Banning (Nick Nolte). Even though his appearance is not the main character and his duration on the screen is not much, he is Mike Banning's father who is full of experience. Even though he has been a Vietnam war veteran for a long time, he still stole our attention.
The role of Mike Banning played by Butler has made a good impression, but I see a little awkwardness with Banning in this film, when Banning is faced with pain by taking drugs. Looks like he wasn't born for that.
The relationship that was built between Mike Banning is shown to be disharmonious, but the father's care for the child remains unavoidable. Okay, enjoy watching it!

Hello Hivers!
Semoga anda sekeluarga selalu sehat, dan semoga saja tidak ada kasus baru dari Covid-19. Baiklah, kita akan membahas film. Seperti yang kita tahu, ini adalah film ketiga dengan franchise yang sama, bagaimana kita menyebut franshise ini, saya hanya ingat kata yang sama "Has Fallen" LOL. Intinya adalah menyelamatkan sang presiden Amerika Serikat.
Angel Has Fallen merupakan lanjutan dari film Olympus Has Fallen dan London Has Fallen. Tetapi menurut saya, yang ketiga ini disajikan dengan gaya yang lebih baik dari kedua film sebelumnya.
Menyenangkan rasanya, bertemu dengan teman-teman lama. Hal ini kembali dirasakan oleh Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) saat melakukan latihan gabungan dengan pasukan kemanan swasta yang dipimpin mantan rekan militernya Wade Jennings (Danny Huston).
Dilema yang dirasakannya ketika menjadi pengawal pribadi presiden (Secret Service Agent) adalah bukan soal aksi dan resiko cacat yang harus diterimanya, melainkan bagaimana ia membagi waktunya dengan keluarga kecil yang telah ia miliki. Banning seperti kehilangan arah, dan sempat ingin mundur. Tetapi, kejadian tak terduga telah menyeretnya kembali dalam berbagai pertarungan.
Disutradarai oleh Ric Roman Waugh yang sudah kita kenal melalui Snitch (2013), memang masih biasa-biasa saja, ada sedikit cerminan, dan di film ini kita dihadapkan pada dilema Banning, seperti yang saya ceritakan di atas. Ditambah lagi, musuh tak henti-henti menjebak dirinya, mulai dari serangan drone canggih yang menakjubkan pada adegan pertama film yang menjadi sumber masalah besar bagi Banning.
Saat itulah, Banning dituduh menjadi dalang pembunuhan Presiden Alan Trumbull. Setelah tragedi serangan mengerikan drone terjadi, hampir semua pasukan Paspampres tewas ketika menemani Presiden memancing di sebuah danau.
Selain asik menonton aksi-aksi Banning yang sangat seru, kita dihadapkan pada seorang lelaki yang mencuri perhatian, ia adalah Clay Banning (Nick Nolte). Walaupun penampilannya tidak sebagai pemeran utama dan durasinya tampil di layar tak banyak, tapi ia menjadi sosok Ayah Mike Banning yang penuh pengalaman. Meskipun sudah menjadi veteran perang Vietnam sejak lama, tetap saja ia mencuri perhatian kita.
Peran Mike Banning yang dimainkan Butler telah memberikan kesan baik, tapi saya melihat sedikit canggung dengan Banning di film ini, ketika Banning dihadapkan pada pesakitan dengan mengkonsumsi obat-obatan. Sepertinya ia tidak terlahir untuk itu.
Hubungan yang dibangun antara Mike Banning diperlihatkan seolah tak harmonis, tapi kepedulian sang ayah terhadap anak tetap tak dapat dihindarkan. Baik, selamat menonton!
