10 Films From 2016 That We Wish We Could Unsee

1) London Has Fallen

Filed strictly under the “sequels that no one asked for” category, London Has Fallen is a big, dumb, mean film, an ugly cocktail of mind-numbing action and miasmic xenophobia that serves no purpose other than to entertain domestic audiences by touting American greatness and fanning the flames of (this time) anti-Middle Eastern sentiment. Some may even say it’s downright vile in its constant glorification of violence, and while we wouldn’t necessarily go that far, we can safely say that there are no redeeming qualities to be found here.

All that aside though, and this film is still an absolute disaster. Full of action cliches and completely implausible events, not to mention some pretty shoddy effects work throughout, London Has Fallen is an unbearable piece of work. Seriously, sitting through this one is painful and a truly unpleasant experience. Olympus Has Fallen, while flawed, was still watchable. This though, well, this is something else entirely.

Avoid like the plague!
