Why people love it

London Has Fallen (2016) stuck because it commits to its action premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Babak Najafi's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The action and thriller blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
