An attempt to do something different, spoiled by a bad script.

Rating: 4/10 (27 July 2016)

This is the fourth film in "Die Hard". In this film, John McClane will face a cyberterrorist launching the chaos in the American capital. Directed by Len Wiseman, the film has a screenplay by Mark Bomback. Bruce Willis takes the lead role.
This film tried to play with the problem of computer terrorism and how, through an internet network and a computer, anyone can cause damage to the fragile system in which we live. The attempt, despite the merits, proved to be negative due to a poorly written and poorly thought out script, full of plot holes and incongruous situations.
Bruce Willis remained fairly as expected. The rest of the cast did not disappoint but did not shine much. The choice of Timothy Olyphant for the main villain, however, was a tremendous casting error. Throughout the film, he showed that has not adapted to the role, keeping such a theatrical and forced posture that never gets to look menacing. The scenarios could have been better and more interesting: if the action takes place in Washington DC, why we have not seen more often the locations most commonly associated with the city, such the Capitol or the Lincoln Memorial? The special visual and sound effects are good, but fail this query was so bad for an action film that already was expected to be good.
