Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2007)

2007 is proving to be a remarkable year. Whereas the creative bombs have been bigger and yet made tons of money, we got films like these, giving us exactly what we demand from movies: loud, entertaining, interesting, funny, and thrilling, without an ounce of tedious dialogue or unnecessary flash. Bruce Willis knows how to pick them, and he works hard at making sure he delivers what we want.
McClane is a lethal weapon again, targeting just about what he needs in order to achieve his goals. Military Planes, trained assassins, trucks, cars, automatic weapons are all just different types of hurdles that he overtakes, not without a bit of risk along the way.
His detective is still pretty lively and gutsy, with a caustic sense of humour and ready to dispatch batches of sarcasm, as the situation demands. This time he must somehow from the country from an economic and cybernetic catastrophe, and though he is a little behind in technology, he manages to take advantage of a computer hacker, who might or not help him bring down the terrorists.
This film shows every bit of the budget, as cars, roads, buildings, elevators, people, computers, and more are blown up and scattered all over the screen. It also contains a couple of scenes that immediately become classics, as McClane uses a helicopter for target practice and finds new ways to leave a flying plane.
There is not a single boring moment in the film, and this is the biggest compliment a Hollywood movie can receive this year. It is a bit over 2 hours and is as lean as a thriller has ever been made. The only reason it doesn't get full marks is because of a bit of puzzling facts, is this all happening on the 4th of July? Why are so many people in suits all over the cities? Still, if you like loud, entertaining, and exciting films, this one is as perfect as they make them!!
