Patriots -7- *** Traitors -0-

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2007)

Years before there was a Jack Bauer there was a John McClane, and here he is back again fighting internet-focused terrorists in the post 9/11 era.
Although this picture is spoiled by the usual excess of action movies, there's highly entertaining interaction between seasoned cop McClane and the young computer geek he's teamed up with. The hero is bigger than life and so are the enemy.
Live Fast or Die Hard is out in DVD after its solid success at the box office. In every way this movie is focused on patriotism and principle of strong character in fighting evil to protect America and everyone's neighbor. No doubt the DVD will be as popular as the movie. Contrast this with the 9 movies currently on the market aimed at undermining the War on Terror and offering aid and comfort to the enemy at a time when our troops are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
These 9 films are meeting nearly instant death at the box office. Designed to inflict the "ideals" of Hollywood's wacky left on the movie-going public, we moviegoers have rejected their movies and their purpose. Millions of dollars lost by the filmmakers, while 20th Century-Fox can take the 10's of millions made from LIVE FAST straight to the bank.
