Not bad but suffers from the weight of its predecessors.

Rating: 6/10 (16 July 2007)

After watching the die hard trilogy prior to watching this i will say that I'm underwhelmed. Yes the action is good maybe even great but the plot was too thin. What made the other films so good was their originality to a certain extent, this felt like so many modern day computer hacking thrillers of the 24 mould (which is great but i wanted something that hasn't been done before). Also i loved the McLane/Gruber relationship in die hard and die hard with a vengeance. I never felt even close to Gabriel, and the whole kidnapping Lucy was nothing new (to be honest i was never even worried for her). I liked Willis in this film but the plot let much of it down and the fighter jet scene I thought was in their only to show the world that this is how cool FXs have got (i know die hard films are famous for pushing the realms of reality but this was very OTT).
Not a bad film but we expect and deserve better, i think this should be the end of the franchise because i always felt that the trilogy was complete.
