Rating: 2/10 (1 July 2007)

awful movie. Not an original thought in sight. This baby was produced by the numbers. Not a single surprise in the whole film, not a single action sequence that you can't see whats coming. I was bored to tears. I don't mind over the top action in a summer blockbuster, i don't mind gaping plot holes in a action flick. Some clinches is unavoidable in movies these days, so that not a problem. But this is truly reaching deep into the realm of retardation. lets see
Veteran cop with family issues (whatever) Techie comic sidekick (some snappy jokes, really standard stuff) Moron goons eager to be killed by hero (dime a dozen) Recycled cardboard semi-boss villains who are shown to be bad ass yet
find ways to kill themselves(check) Recycled cardboard Final Bond villain who is suppose to be intelligent
yet is hit with stupefy stick midway through the movie. somehow
can't add 1+1 when it comes to dealing with hero cop (oh yes) Hero's children used as hostage in movies are invincible and can not be
killed. doesn't the bad guys knows this? Useless side good guy who does not have a clue (FBI=dumb) heroes dodge bullets by sitting behind paper thin objects (of course) heroes outrunning explosions (check) "Oh my god you want me to read this horrible dialog" look on actors
faces (constant) stupid chase scene added because it has to be there ( yes) I sure hope a fight plane can take out a mac truck, or our military is
in serious trouble. And if i am not mistaken, all phases of the villain's plan that is most
destructive has already been carried out. Our hero only stopped
him from getting his money. (what the hell?)
Look I know the movie's name is Die Hard, so Bruce Willis is hard to kill. however i think that he should be hard to kill because he is tough, resourceful, with a lot of experience in dealing with these extreme situations, not because everyone around him are professors of idoitology.
This tries hard to be True Lies but it is not. save your money unless you have insomnia and is starving for a couple of hours of good sleep.
