Excellent action movie with a serious message

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2007)

To my great surprise this was an excellent movie. Not exactly Shakespeare or anything highbrow but definitely a full entertainment package that will please all who enjoy action thrillers that border on the science-fiction genre. But when you get beyond the special effects and all the noise, the movie poses serious questions: Is the United States vulnerable to computer-based terrorism? Has computer technology become the Achilles' heal of modern society? Bruce Willis gives another excellent performance as John McClane but also impressive is Maggie Q who could be the next Sandra Oh. Ms. Q doesn't say much in this movie but her actions definitely speak volumes. She's all business and she's dynamite.
