Definitely A Surprisingly Good Film For The Franchise

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2007)

Die Hard has been the one of the best action films of all time. Very well written, hilarious moments with Bruce, & over the top scenes to pump your adrenaline. Still most were disappointed with the previous movie, Die Hard With A Vengeance. I enjoyed it but some critics were skeptical about Bruce and Samuel L. Jackson, plus the story not being enriched with smart terrorism. That has all changed with Live Free Or Die Hard. Bruce Willis returns as Detective Jon McClaine, still divorced, still complaining about his life, and having complications communicating with his teenage daughter. The movie starts of well, starting with the main story about a group of highly skilled hackers diving into the F.B.I.'s Cyber Security Center. When things begin not to work at the Center, the head of the department wants every possible hacker to be brought into D.C. for questioning. In comes the hero, asked by the feds to bring in Matthew Farell, played by the funny Justin Long, A sarcastic but smart hacker who has been in trouble with the F.B.I. before. As soon as Willis arrives to Long's apartment, the action begins. I can't really explain anymore on the story. What I will tell you is, its worth every dime to sit in the theater. It catches you the moment the action begins. Very well written like the first two, hilarious moments with not just Bruce but with Justin as well, and one hell of a ride. The reason it has an 8 though is the fact that it won't appeal to everyone.
