A very quick review .

I am the type of person who will enjoy a Well-Made { 💥❗} action film, TO THE HILT . Just throw in a workable story, a little decent acting, and I'm ALL THE WAY in. This picture was no exception, it had 'all-of-the-above', & then some more. In fact, WAY, WAY, WAY more than what I could ever have hoped for. Hollywood VETERAN NICK NOLTE 🌠 features PROMINENTLY in the film as Gerard Butler's { - Secret Service Agent Mike Banning - }'s father Clay Banning. It's safe to say he delivers a TRULY WONDERFUL { ⭐❕} DRAMATIC performance over the course of his interactions : ' ESPECIALLY ' several with his estranged son Mike..... but also a few with his daughter-in-law Leah Banning ( Piper Perabo ) , that GENUINELY MOVED ME .

The " Attack-of-the-drones " scene that was "famously" teased in the trailer actually ended up being REALLY Vivid & Hard Hitting, when played out in full. There is also another scene in the woods involving Mike & Clay, which is truly as FREAKING funny, in { - a l l - } the right places ), as it is P H E N O M E N A L ⭐⭐⭐ . You get the gist. So then W H Y didn't I give it a 'Perfect-score' ? . Well, it's simple, really. { E N T I R E L Y } PREDICTABLE ENDING , almost in the EXACT manner as its immediate predecessor, ' London Has Fallen ' . Banning Junior kills practically - EVERY - last ( m a i n ) 'baddie', & saves the proverbial day yet again. Other than that, the film is completely { - W I L D - } ; from the very first scene of this " Non-stop Thrill Ride " ....... and onwards .

This Is A Sheer, Bombastic, Adrenaline-"Drenched" Action { E X T R A V A G A N Z A } . . . . . 8.50 EXPLOSIVE MARKS OF 1O 💣 💥❗
