This time around he’s forced to turn to his estranged father for help – a frankly bonkers appearance by Nick Nolte that ups the fun factor considerably. So if you’re a fan of explosions, car chases, gruff heroes who are apparently invincible and all the other things that make great action movies great, then trust us. You need to buy Angel Has Fallen as soon as possible.

And if it whets your appetite for more action and more Butler, you’ll find plenty more of the same from the Paisley pin-up on the Virgin Media Store…

Law Abiding Citizen

Available to buy on the Virgin Media Store. Cert 18

Butler is Clyde Shelton, a grieving husband and father who decides the only way to get justice for his murdered family is to take the law into his own hands, with phenomenally destructive results.

Best scene… Shelton, accused of double homicide, cunningly manages to talk a judge into granting him bail just to make a point about the legal system.

Best Butler line… “Do you have any idea what justice is? Whatever happened to right and wrong? Whatever happened to the people? Whatever happened to justice?!”

300

Available to buy on the Virgin Media Store. Cert 15

Butler is King Leonidas, leading his small band of Spartans into battle against the Persian army in this highly stylised and fantastically violent adaption of Frank Miller’s graphic novel.

Best scene… The 300 Spartans block the Hot Gates and repel wave after wave of Persian onslaught in a visceral, gory clash of bodies and metal.

Best Butler line… “Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty… for tonight, we dine in HELL!”

Geostorm

Available to buy on the Virgin Media Store. Cert 12

Butler is Jake Lawson, a scientist who designed a system of climate-controlling satellites – and is forced to take action when things to go wrong and a global weather crisis begins. Could it be sabotage?

Best scene… The geostorm starts to destroy major cities in worryingly convincing ways. This film is set in the very near future.

Best Butler line… “Millions of people are gonna die… and one of them’s my daughter!”

Hunter Killer

Available to buy on the Virgin Media Store. Cert 15

Butler is Joe Glass, an unorthodox submarine commander charged with rescuing the President of Russia from rebels who have staged a coup – and hopefully preventing a war.

Best scene… The muffled yet ultra-tense battle under the ice.

Best Butler line… “I risked my men, I risked my ship… because it was the right thing to do!”

Den Of Thieves

Available to buy on the Virgin Media Store. Cert 15

Butler is Nick O’Brien, a headstrong detective investigating a gang of armed robbers who are planning to raid the Federal Reserve Bank.

Best scene… Director Christian Gudegast (writer of London Has Fallen) injects plenty of suspense into the central heist scene – then undercuts it superbly.

Best Butler line… “Do we look like the types who arrest you? We just shoot you!”
