Balls to the wall ..

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2007)

... or through the wall ... One thing is for certain here and you should be aware of that fact: There is no such thing as a story/plot that is noteworthy. John McLane - Bad Guys and speaking of the former, it's amazing how smoothly and to the point Bruce Willis is, in one of his (if not THE) trademark roles! He's jumping right into it, as if Part 3 was shot yesterday!
I've got to give out Kudos to the rest of the cast, too. From the bad guys/gal to the sidekick Justin Long. I was afraid, he could ruin the movie, but he fits the bill and plays his role good (of course you can't compare him to a Samuel L. Jackson, but that's not the point here). What is the point though, is the action on display. And the action is pretty d*mn good! There are things/stunts that you might have seen in the trailer, but even if, you'll be equally amazed by them!
You couldn't tell from the action on screen, but the movie is PG-13. From what I heard (rumors), there will be a longer version on DVD, which I'm looking forward, too. Is it still worth watching in a theater? If you're a McLane/Willis fan, the answer will be yes and you'll love the movie. But even without any knowledge of the previous installments in the Die Hard series, as an action fan, you'll enjoy this movie! Yippie-kay-yay ...
EDIT: I have to admit, that seeing Bruce Willis as John McLane, made me oblivious to the fact, that the villain was kind of non existent. Or at least, not that impressive and/or threatening ... still good action though!
