      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      It's far from original, but Olympus Has Fallen benefits from Antoine Fuqua's tense direction and a strong performance from Gerard Butler -- which might just be enough for action junkies.

      Noah Berlatsky The Atlantic One of the most depressing and despicable films I have ever seen. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Wesley Morris Grantland Olympus Has Fallen is made from action-movie mix. Just add sweat. Jan 3, 2014 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Antoine Fuqua is a dependable action director whose talents will never be maximised while the 1980s continue to be over. Rated: 2/5 Apr 19, 2013 Full Review Ian Kane Epoch Times “Olympus Has Fallen” is a phenomenal actioner with very timely implications and a frightening “what if” premise. Rated: 4/5 Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Corny and overwrought. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 12, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “Olympus Has Fallen” was a trip back in time through both the film’s high-octane action as well as with its predictable shortcomings.
