Mat_Nichol I saw the preview and thought it must be a spoof but no, it really is just terrible. Why go and make a film like this? The acting is poor, the story line(if you can call it that) is badly thought out, the script lacks any interest or realism, the military inaccuracies are embarrassing and the editing is distracting. Why go to all the effort of producing a film that you know will be so bad? This really is just an exercise in narcissism.
grazmix i thought the acting in TOWIE was bad but they are class compared to this lot, the plot was bad had more holes than a Swiss cheese, the acting was more chipboard than wooden, i only kept watching it in the vain hope it would get better but sadly i was wrong. If i could give it a - score i would, how they managed to waste 3 million on it i will never know .
greygoose-15393 .....after the first 'He who Dares', who in the name of all that's fair and decent was stupid enough to give the shockingly talent-less Paul Tanter more money to make more of this relentless stupidity.I watched this primarily out of pure morbid curiosity to see if it could actually be worse than the prequel and from that point of view alone it didn't disappoint.The lead character alone is a disaster, he has way too many 'Ricky Gervais in doco mode' style character traits to be taken seriously and is about as menacing as Julian Cleary. This sequel shares it's predecessors style of relentless, pointless and futile killing in a bid to cover up the absurd and utterly pointless story line, the story (if you can call it that) is a 'whose who' of cinematic clichés, you would have thought that after the slagging Tanter got in reviews for the original movie he might have done some technical research before writing/filming another, but no.Example - In one scene the good guy SAS MAJOR strolls into the room in a a uniform with two stripes on the sleeve, REALLY??? Surely someone in a film crew of this size must have known that this is the rank insignia of a corporal, SURELY??? I could ramble on about how utterly f**king dire this movie is but you get the idea.In the interests of fairness the scene outside No.10 where the door gets blown off is f**king great, but a few seconds excitement is not enough to warrant given this utterly awful movie more than 1.If you feel the need to kill yourself after watching this movie simply climb Paul Tanters ego and jump to his IQ.
aamongman I don't usually write reviews, but for this very special film I'm going to make an exception.'He Who Dares: Downing Street' is by far one of the most awful films I have ever seen. It has superseded many other terrible, terrible films because it is truly, genuinely dreadful. Most bad supposedly adrenaline-fuelling, action/crime films have some redeeming features but not this one (save a few glorious seconds towards the end I will elaborate upon), some actual entertainment value, even if it's just funny to laugh at.It is no surprise that the plot is inconceivably bad, full of plot-holes and makes little sense throughout. The special effects are cringe-inducing - especially the blood whenever someone is shot, which is not infrequent in this horribly unoriginal shoot'em up - and the direction (combined with cinematography and plot) feels as if a particularly stupid 15 year old has just watched 'Die Hard' for the first time and written his own version set in Downing Street.The acting deserves particular recognition. The almost universally miscast actors are reliably wooden, irritating and make already poorly written characters even more unlikeable than they already were. From the (obviously) Conservative MP whose last words are to call the main villain a 'Pleb' to the main villain himself; Simon F*cking Phillips.Simon Phillips, who I last had the displeasure of watching in 'Meet the Firm: Revenge in Rio' is wholly awful. In-between bouts of not being very scary whilst threatening and murdering people he sometimes switches into 'comedian' mode, joking and wise-cracking (badly) whilst threatening and murdering people. Those few seconds of glory I mentioned before come when we witness Simon Phillips shot, not just once, but twice!!Unoriginal, awful, just bad, 1/10
