Die Light

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2009)

Let me tell you that I really like Bruce Willis and most of his movies. I liked the original Die Hard-movies, I'm fan of the Last Boys Scout and The Last Man Standing. These are awesome action movies! Well, I really wanted to like the new Die Hard-flick as much as I loved the old ones, but I just couldn't think of it as a Die Hard-movie. Why? Because it's PG-13. And that's a serious problem my friend, if you ask me. If I wanna see a pg-13 action-flick, I go and see the Bourne Supremacy. Good movie. But if I want to see a good old fashioned balls-to-the-walls action movie with Bruce Willis - well - I'm afraid that's not the right movie to see. This is truly Die Light. The only thing remind me the other chapters of that series is Bruce Willis, but I think he looks a bit tired. And what about the villain? There is NO villain in this movie! Oh, yeah Timothy Olyphant plays a guy who want to teach America a lesson. He's so weak. He's so not good. And what kind of villain is that who doesn't kill anybody? I mean, come on, remember Alan Rickman? He WAS the perfect Die Hard-villain. He has balls, he has voice, he was evil and that's it. Sorry, Tim, you failed! You are a crappy bad guy! Let's talk about the action. Good. I have to say that the action is good. Not awesome, not terrific, just good. Nothing more, nothing less. Nothing special.
The one-liners are not bad but...I think that the writers tried too hard to find a good one-liner and...Some of it feels so un-natural and un-authentic. But that's just my personal-opinion.
The weakest of the Die Hard movies.
