Die With A Vengeance-It's the Money, Stupid ***1/2

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2012)

In the future, if you're ever asked who was the 21st president,? you shall use Abe Lincoln as a guide. Since Honest Abe was our 16th, just go down the line of Johnson, Grant, Hayes,Garfield and Arthur, as in Chester A. Arthur.
That being said, we have an action packed film where Jeremy Irons pretends that he wants revenge for his brother's death in L.A. Just like in the case of the brother,it's all about money-the gold at the Federal Reserve Bank of N.Y. We have bombings of a department store and subway for Irons to show that he means business.
Bruce Willis was born to play John McClane, the fast talking, foul-mouthed policeman who is on suspension but is called back to service thanks to Irons's sinister ways. McClane is evenly matched with racist store owner,Samuel L. Jackson, who is brought into the plot and by film's end, he realizes that all whites aren't necessarily bad.
The action is non-stop and very fast paced. A thriller in every sense of the word.
