If you were of a mind to, there is a lot to He Who Dares: Downing Street Siege to pick holes in; the charisma imbalance between the hero and the villain, the irritating way in which Tanter attempts to add urgency to scenes by making his camera jitter and zoom, and, most jarringly, when Lowe and the ersatz Bond girl Cassie (Merissa Porter) show down, perhaps the most unconvincing martial arts sequence ever committed to film.
But there is much more to be entertained by, not least of all the film's resolute Britishness; jokes make allusions to politicians referring to police as 'plebs', and a terrorist name checks the time that Eastenders is scheduled (not 'on a Wednesday'). He Who Dares: Downing Street Siege has its niche target audience so tightly in its crosshairs, and caters so exclusively and gleefully to it, that I imagine the film would be mystifying to any other audience.
So, unlike Lowe, he of the inflexible integrity, for my summative score I'm going to compromise and I dare say that I'll award a 9/10.

The Hunt Savage Within is a great action packed thriller filled with unexpected twists and turns that will leave you wanting more! The stunts are so well made for a low budget production and the acting is captivating from all cast!
Tried to like it I really did but there was so much cuts in it that it was hard to keep track of what's going on. Enjoyed the cast and their performances throughout the film and that should be mentioned.
