Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

London Has Fallen (2016)

Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) is the president's top secret service agent, so when dozens of world leaders flock to London for the English prime minister's funeral, Mike is at the president's side and it's darn lucky he is.

The plot is pretty basic -- bad guys are killing all the world leaders they can -- but the action is truly spectacular. Landmarks are destroyed, inventive car chase gun battles go on for ages, bridges collapse, etc. There's barely a minute to breathe. I mean, it's not good but it ain't bad.
