Doesn't live up to its name

Rating: 4/10 (17 March 2008)

This is not a Die Hard movie as I intend it: music, tone, direction and concept are different (and even worse: lacking) compared to the previous efforts. This is just another bland, generic action movie starring Bruce Willis.
What really pisses me off is how the unbearably bad sidekick is given undeserved screen time (in order to "bond" with the hero and end up bosom buddies) when the REAL John McClane would have stepped up and punch his face in the previous ones. Here, they clearly mellowed the character to a point where the filmmakers felt the need to turn his main physical opponent into a woman to make him look less sissified. Sad.
Since the mundane script and boring (if not clearly silly) action sequences bring no redeeming value to this flick, I suggest you rent a good actioner instead (like "Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg - real action stuff here) rather than this lackluster effort.
