Directed by Len Wiseman (Underworld, Underworld:Evolution) made an extremely entertaining action/thriller of the popular "Die Hard" series. It's been twelve years since the last "Die Hard" film. Willis is in top-form as the middle aged hero. Long is also good as the unwilling victim, who helps McClane along the way. Fans of the the "Die Hard" movies might be disappointed with the lack of blood or language in this new film. Since it was originally R Rated until they re-edited for PG-13 for commercial reasons. Timothy Olyphant and Maggie Q plays terrific villains in this one. Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays McClane's daughter's reasonably well. Actor/Filmmaker/Screenwriter:Kevin Smith appears in a memorable bit part as "The Warlock".
This fourth film has plenty of action but it's the creative stunt work that highlights this picture. This is certainly one of the biggest hits of 2007. This is the first film since Bruce Willis broke the $100 Million Dollar Mark since "The Sixth Sense". Willis is simply fun to watch as the original Old-School action hero's of the 1980's. Don't miss it. Screenplay by Mark Bomback (Godsent, The Tourist). From a story by Bomback and David Marconi (Enemy of the State). Based on an article by John Carlin (The article is titled "A Farewall to Arms"). Super 35. (****/*****).
