A fourth movie about a NY cop John McClane who we all know from previous movies. First of all the movie is great. It really has it all. The situation about a criminal plot to take down the entire computer and technological structure that supports the economy of the United States is really taking it to the next level from previous movie situations John had to face.But, there is always a but. The movie just hasn't got the feel like the first two movies, (the third is a different ballgame). Don't get me wrong. The story, directing, special effects and acting of one of my favorite actors Bruce Willis are amazing, but for me Die Hard (1988) is superior.
In the first movie you had John & the bad guys in a building. Who walks away - wins. Add John's humor and brain in a tough situation and you get an unforgettable action movie. With Live free or die hard happened what usually happens with sequels. They get watered down and don't beat the original. All in all - a cool 21. st century movie with amazing special effects and fine acting.
My rating: 4.2/5
