Good summer movie

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2007)

For Canada Day my wife and I had a retro date weekend. Like many moons ago we went to the KFC and then to an action movie. I enjoyed Dieharder. The story is interesting, while the stunts were over the top, and I enjoyed the doses of humor.
Dieharder had computer hackers attack the US. Bruce picks up a hacker and the wrong place wrong time story unfolds nicely. I say right place right time for America. The bad guys are bad, and the good guy is solid.
The solid good guy Bruce Willis adapts and overcomes evil encounters with over the top stunts. The jet freeway deal, the traffic tunnel and ending stunts were great. I love the ending.
Willis's sarcasm in dealing with the stress is a great tension reliever. I liked when he talks to himself in the annoyed tone via the tunnel scene. The humor is done at the right time for the wrong place plot.
The directing and acting meld together well with the above mentioned Die-hard formula makes Dieharder entertaining. 7 out of 10. Worth seeing this summer. I wonder if this is the last of the 80's style action movies with Sly and Arnold out of the picture?
