Review
Angel Has Fallen is a straight action thriller about a framed Secret Service agent fighting a private military conspiracy to kill the president. The story pushes veteran pain and war profiteering themes through dialogue and the Nick Nolte father character but keeps zero identity politics or activist lectures. Jada Pinkett Smith plays FBI Agent Thompson with some promo talk about feminine strength yet stays in a supporting role that never takes over or rewrites the hero. No girlboss dominance, no race swaps, no systemic oppression sermons.
