Theatrical licence okay, but master criminals point?

Rating: 6/10 (18 September 2007)

The 'mistakes' in geography are fine and, at times, fun. Even the continuity is kind of what one would expect from a Die Hard movie, it adds to the charm and fantasy value. The hacking facts are superbly over our heads and as we are supposed to side with John McClane, then he doesn't know either; he just deals in his own kind of facts and actions. It's the master criminals intentions, which are difficult to follow, he seems, at first, to have vengeance on his mind, or the FBI/NSA allude to it: ex- employee thing. Later, towards the end, it is definitely money that he is after, but with just a bit too much overkill: if you destroy a countries financial base and structure. Then what use is its money to you, where can you spend and enjoy it; it would also be quite worthless abroad?
