Good old fashioned brain dead actioner!!

Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2007)

12 years after the pretty poor 'Die Hard With A Vengeance' everybody's favourite action hero John McClane is back.This time he's taking on computer hackers, hell bent on bringing the good old US of A to it's technological and economic knees.
Bruce is his usual wise ass self, and he is well supported by Justin Long and Kevin Smith (yes Silent Bob!) as computer geeks, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as his daughter and Maggie Q as the super sexy ninja baddie Mai Lihn.The only disappointment cast wise Timothy Olyphant as head honcho Thomas Gabriel, he didn't seem to exhume enough menace I felt, which is a pity as this is just what he did as Todd in the awesome 'Go'.
The action is crash bang wollop as you would expect from the Die Hard franchise, though it must be said the finale involving a US jet fighter is one of the most ludicrous action scenes I've bared witness to for some time, that pilot really was a poor shot! Leave your brain in the lobby, kick back and enjoy folks, "Yippee Kiya Mother......."(no swear words in the pc 21st Century folks!)
