Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

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.

trevor-103 Quite possibly one of the worst, most inane, awful films I have ever sat through, wooden acting, awful special effects, obviously fake head- shot stickers were on special during the day it took to film this as opposed to the wardrobe budget which obviously ran out extremely quickly as most of the actors were forced to share the same ill-fitting jacket. appalling dialogue full of unnecessary playground swearing.Truly dreadful!

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 It has superseded many other terrible, terrible films because it is truly, genuinely dreadful.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

UrbanKhoja I had high hopes of the film having read the description, what could be better than a film showing the British SAS in all their glory? It was frankly and utterly awful; to start the Police uniforms were wrong, the acting was awful, key details were wrong and whomever wrote it clearly hadn't bothered to research the UK Security Services or related protocols.It's a shame, having seen White House Down and Olympus has Fallen I had high hopes of this being on par or even better given the SAS twist.Words cannot explain the travesty that is this film, I feel anyone unfortunate enough who watches this should receive an apology from the writers!
