There's enough action for everyone

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2007)

Action, action, and more action. Just when you thought you saw the coolest stunt and most unbelievable action sequence... wait, there's more.
John McClane has found himself in the center of it all again. In "Die Hard" it was a high rise in L.A., "Die Hard 2" was O'Hare airport in Chicago, "Die Hard with a Vengeance" was the entire city of New York, and now he is defending the entire country via the entire east coast. He can only go international from here, or inter-planetary.
The movie has a good up to date story line that lends feasibility and relevance. We are in the digital age, so now it is all about cyber crimes. McClane, like in "Die Hard with a Vengeance", has an unwilling participant that he is dragging along. Matt Farrell, played by Justin Long (better known for his Apple commercials), does an excellent job as the computer hacking geek that is being dragged around by John McClane until he can get some answers.
As good as the movie was, and as awesome as the action was, it just couldn't quite outdo "Die Hard". In "Die Hard" he was younger, the movie was a little less destructive, it was more believable, and how could you not like Alan Rickman as the bad guy. Still, LFoDH was very entertaining and had plenty of wow moments. It was exactly what you expect from a summer movie.
