Another strong Die Hard movie

Rating: 5/10 (24 September 2007)

The first Die Hard is a action-classic, and the two sequels were great entertainment - now, twelve years later John McClane returns. Off course, everybody's gotta approach this with some skepticism as both Bruce Willis himself has aged, and the whole idea of having the return of McClane in a post 9/11 setting with Jason Bourne, Craig's Bond and superheroes bouncing around is a pretty risky affair. LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD is a success, and that's first thing's first - there ain't too much to say about such a straight-forward action movie succeeding on the terms that it's got the wit combined with the guts, and it truly makes it work. It's a solid piece of action-movie making, and it's a great thing to see Bruce Willis return in the role he does best. And it's totally a spectacle of explosions, fighting and shoot-outs, and whether you like it or not, I think that Die Hard 4 deserves the honor of pulling this off both professionally and successfully.
