People can feel free to s**t on this movie all they want. I, on the other hand, will enjoy a fun and wild installment of the Die Hard series. |

Although Live Free and Die Hard presents some unique additions to the franchise (particularly the bad-ass Mary Elizabeth Winstead as McClane's daughter,) it lacks the freshness of the first film and the brutality that characterizes John McClane's brand of action. It's still a fun thrill ride with some clever callbacks to the series, but it feels somewhat like a watered down, sleeker and slicker version of the gritty franchise. |

Numerous computer hackers upload programs they were paid to code to a woman named Mai Linh. She creates a computer outage at the FBI Cyber-Security Division in the J. Edgar Hoover Building. NYPD detective John McClane is assigned to bring a hacker from Camden, New Jersey, Matt Farrell, into FBI for questioning. The gadgets and stunts were amazing, some however somewhat unbelievable like the one sequence on the jet. It was a treat seeing Kevin Smith as Frederick "Warlock" Kaludis, Farrell's friend the computer hacker. The antagonist was not vicious enough and it relied on technology more than the characters. Live Free or Die Hard is a decent action picture despite a few unrealistic sequences. |

Die hard action continues with live free willis |
|
Grade: B-
Live free or Die Hard is no free action film, it is heavily loaded with action set pieces with a breath taking screenplay. Intention behind the writer and director is clear. He wants to bring destruction of USA and using sophisticated computer techniques, hacking of public telephones, electricity, traffic signals, etc are on.. USA is going to face doomsday. The whole scenario sets place in Washington DC. There might be questions like How this can be done? It all happens in Die Hard 4.0. Just sit back and see doomsday using computer technocrats, handled by a cyber terrorist. That’s what I would say.
So what’s the plot? McClane (Willis) is behind his daughter who does not care about him. She wants to.be aloof. McClane rescues a computer operative Farell (Justin Long) from a gr... |

"Live Free Or Die Hard" by Yojimbo |

Bruce Willis returns as the one man counter-terrorist unit, this time taking on an ex-government agent bent on sinking the US infrastructure into chaos while making a few billion on the side. The basis of the plot is the classic "computer geek+laptop=total control over everything/anything in the world" school so favoured by Michael Bay and the like resulting in America's favourite terrorism inspired paranoid fantasy, but having said that, it's no more ridiculous than the Bourne films and delivers the same kind of frenetic stunt-orientated action. Willis proves he can still cut it in the ass kicking stakes at his ripe old age and some of the set pieces are truly spectacular. Justin Long manages to play the wise cracking nerd without grating on the nerves and it cracks along at an electric ... |

Live Free or Die Hard |
|
The best summer film so far. With its non-stop action and constant humour, I wanted the film to run longer. The antagonists of the film are quite venomous yet charming at the same time, which made it that much better than your typical action film. Bruce Willis proves that he's still got it as an action star (and actor in general) and Justin Long proves that he can be in every film genre and succeed at creating a believable character. The best aspect of the film (and there's a plethora of them but I'm not going to mention them all) is its boldness to play with fear in the form of terrorism. Fear has been a constant theme in the "Die Hard" films and I'm so happy that this one remained true to its source and levitate it into a whole new level. I cannot recommend this film enough. Disappointe... |
