Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2007)

I'm just going to get straight to the point, this was BRILLIANT, a text book example of good old fashioned action movie know how! I was not sure what to expect from a Die Hard in the digital age, i was worried, there was no need to be. CGI is employed in parts of the movie, but sparingly and only when needed, it does seem to have been trimmed here and there for language, i imagine subsequent DVD releases will address that.
The bad guys are bad, but not "over the top", the stunts are the kind that make you suck in air through your teeth, but best of all it doesn't try to compete with the previous entries in the Die Hard franchise. It just does its own thing and by that default becomes a great addition to the series. Bruce IS McClane, he just inhabits the role of John now, shoot him, kick him out of the window, blow him up or even throw a car at him, he'll just bounce back.
I really gravitate to this idea of his strong beliefs in simple human values and attitudes, is what keeps him centered in the face of this onslaught of technology.
If your looking for a "ride" movie, look no further, John McClane is about to have a very bad day, but you'll have a great night !
