Food. Where was the food

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2008)

Live Free or Die Hard is an intense action film and the 52 year old Bruce Willis does some extraordinary stunts, stunts that would floor your average 52 year old cop. But when his side kick complained that he had low blood sugar and needed food, even mentioning a fast food place in sight, they didn't stop. Now all this frenetic action takes loads of energy and fuel but our hero and his charge never stopped to eat, to replenish their souls and bodies. Yes, there were over the top action sequences and that's why I wondered whey they got all that energy. I like action movies, I have dozens of them and like them for their over the top action but I still want some kind of reality in them, hence, the food. I remember that even my hero, Sean Connery, in The Rock, mentioned that he just might be too old for all the foolishness they were asking him to do, I liked that touch because it showed him as being human, Willis and his antics were super human and didn't fit the body of a 52 year old cop. Still, I wanted Live Free or Die Hard for my collection and will probably watch it a couple of times. I did find it intense. And that's what these action movies are all about, aren't they?
