Film Review: The Fall of an Angel No. 1

The common feature of all films is that Agent Leonid, thanks to his skill, quick wit and luck, saves the president's skin and the whole world every time.

The opponents are treacherous, prepared, and carry out an attack in several stages with full advantage in the first minutes of the attack in order to seize the situation before the arrival of operational forces and only then dictate their terms.

In the first film of the franchise, "The Fall of Olympus" (2013), Leonid overcame problems in the form of a sudden and massive attack by scoundrels: insidious South Korean terrorists (yes, they happen to happen, they "broke the pattern" so to speak), who were going to detonate the US nuclear force (literally, instantly detonating all nuclear warheads), and begin chaos in the Far East in the form of a war between the two Koreas.

The topic of North Korea's nuclear ambitions, which was relevant at the time (and still is), multiplied by Butler's charisma and super action, did its job.

In the second film of the franchise, "The Fall of London" (2016), Leonid overcame adversity in the form of a sudden mass revenge attack by Arab terrorists on London during the funeral of the British Prime Minister with the participation of the leaders of the G7 states, in particular, the President of the United States.

These terrorists managed to infiltrate both the police and the honor guard, and unexpectedly attacked the leaders of the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Italy, France, Germany and Canada in the very heart of London, using bridges, barges and Westminster Abbey to blow up real Iraq on the streets of the city with street battles of British special forces against Arab terrorists..

Yes, there is less realism, and there are more unnecessary dialogues and, to put it mildly, mistakes by the security services of world leaders. But the movie is cool, because you empathize with Butler's character.

And the events are based on the historical realities of that time.:

- Indifference to the President of Russia;

- The topic of the "Islamic State" in the context of support for separatists in the Philippines and the return of former jihadists from Syria to Europe;

- The deployment of the main villain of the film in Sanaa (controlled by the Houthi separatists, who are allies of Iran and opponents of the United States).

And so, the third episode of the series "The Adventures of Agent Leonid" called "The Fall of an Angel" begins with Agent Leonid's personal problems (pain in his spine, conversations with his friend Wade Jeninks and his wife, worries about his daughter, who is growing up).

The US president became a friend, Chairman of the House of Representatives in "The Fall of Olympus" and Vice President in "The Fall of London" Alan Trumble.
