Excellent, a Must See

This is dreadful. A low budget production. Best points - a couple of decent actors - the PM and 'baddie' (Holt - who acts like the crazed Master in Dr Who) - and the music which works well with the movie. Bad points - several of the ham actors (Deputy PM, Military figures - seems they were given their lines on the day and read from auto-cue). The sets are rubbish - supposed to be Downing Street - they didn't try. Just a hotel and loading bay - in poor repair. Overall - this could have been fine - a showcase that some talented actors, decent screenplay and direction/editing could have produced a decent low budget movie. Instead it failed

This movie is such utter dross that I hear Michael Dudikoff has called it 'woefully bad acting'.Seriously, I thought we'd gone past the truly shabby Z-Grade movies of the 1980s with woeful plot lines, wooden acting and not-so-special effects, but apparently, Tanter & Phillips decided that they could attempt something worse.Beyond the laughable 'military' inaccuracies, the grade-school acting and seriously pathetic 'special effects' is a movie that I'm actually quite surprised that anyone would even remotely consider funding.Who's portrayal is the most abysmal I hear you ask?Is it the tubby 'villan' who's about as threatening as a four-year old bully? The scrawny, unshaven artiste who is apparently our heroic SAS Major (although he appears in Corporal's stripes)? Or the any of the other clichéd losers who have had the misfortune to consider themselves actors?The worst of Neighbours, Days of Our Lives or the like shines in comparison to the efforts within this waste of time.That they spent 3 mil on this is laughable. Either they have a very, very shabby accountant or they've taken their backers for a serious ride.Worst of all, this is a sequel, which means there's more of this offal floating around out there.A shame we can't give negative scores on here.

From the start my suspicions were that it was not going to be what I had hoped. The moment the SAS trooper turned and knocked on the door of No10 I was reaching for the off button. "Major" Lowe (?) turned up in a Corporals uniform from what looked the Medical Corps (the RAMC serving or veterans Will be mortified) he was immediately referred to as Major despite his shiny white two stripes on his arm, he strode into meeting of some dodgy characters reading their lines from hidden notes and cast up a salute while his cap was under his arm. To make matters worse the salute, if it could be called that was rather like one made by John Wayne about the US Cavalry! This film is a travesty, it lack authenticity, a script or even a shred of credibility. Avoids it at all costs before the SAS come calling which they may do when searching fir the director and script writers.

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
