A Bourne style take on a Die Hard movie with a humourless and sardonic bald McClane...

Rating: 6/10 (12 February 2020)

...and pick and choose beats from the previous three movies with all the action cliches of the time. It's got a welcome but awkward videogame cheapness to the action sequences, and some nice shots and some nice editing, something I never expected from the director of Underworld, but Wiseman can construct a movie competently, even if the script of that movie is the usual sort of expected autopilot. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is wasted and Justin Long is a budget version of a better buddy comedian. Olyphant looks awkward and about as out of place as a hacker King as Bruce Willis does. Overall it's a fairly clever modern reboot of Die Hard, 12A enough to make money and with enough references to get by. Shame that it's visually dated now and largely forgettable. At least it's better than the next one...
