Movie Reviews of Live Free or Die Hard (Unrated Edition)Movie Review: NEw Die Hard, is as good as it ever was Summary: 4 StarsI am a sucker for a good action movie, and the DieHard series is the standard from which all other action movies are judged. The latest, Live Free or Die Hard, had me nervous. Recently their has been a ressurection of these old movie dynasties(Indiana Jones, X-files,etc..) and I haven't been to impressed with them, But
This DieHard renewed my hope. This movie is GREAT! It's non-stop action that left me rivoted the entire movie. I loved Bruce Willis in this movie. He seemed to put on the role of Mclane like someone would put on a comfortable pair of old shoes. He just wears it well. The supporting cast was excellent. Mary Elizabeth Windstead played the daughter and could almost spawn off her own set of sequels. She acts just like her dad.(she played the bad guy in SkyHigh, a great family flick), the side-kick in this movie is Justin Long, and he plays the role to perfection.
Overall a great movie!! I intentionally bought the unrated version, because when I saw that the theatrical version was pg-13, I was certainly disappointed, but the unrated is just as DieHard should be: Irreverant, action packed, and INTENSE.
In my opinion this movie falls just behind the first in the series in greatness.
As long as their this good, keep making more!
Summary of Live Free or Die Hard (Unrated Edition)John McClane takes on an Internet-based terrorist organization who is systematically shutting down the United States. Twelve years after Die Hard with a Vengeance, the third and previous film in the Die Hard franchise, Live Free or Die Hard finds John McClane (Bruce Willis) a few years older, not any happier, and just as kick-ass as ever. Right after he has a fight with his college-age daughter (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), a call comes in to pick up a hacker (Justin Long, a.k.a. the "Apple guy") who might help the FBI learn something about a brief security blip in their systems. Now any Die Hard fan knows that this is when the assassins with foreign accents and high-powered weaponry show up, telling McClane that once again he's stumbled into an assignment that's anything but routine. Once that wreckage has cleared, it is revealed that the hacker is only one of many hackers who are being targeted for extermination after they helped set up a "fire sale," a three-pronged cyberattack designed to bring down the entire country by crippling its transportation, finances, and utilities. That plan is now being put into action by a mysterious team (Timothy Olyphant, Deadwood, and Maggie Q, Mission: Impossible 3) that seems to be operating under the government's noses. Live Free or Die Hard uses some of the cat-and-mouse elements of Die Hard with a Vengeance along with some of the pick-'em-off-one-by-one elements of the now-classic original movie. And it's the most consistently enjoyable installment of the franchise since the original, with eye-popping stunts (directed by Len Wiseman of the Underworld franchise), good humor, and Willis's ability to toss off a quip while barely alive. There was some controversy over the film's PG-13 rating--there might be less blood than usual, and McClane's famous tag line is somewhat obscured--but there's still has plenty of action and a high body count. Yippee-ki-ay! --David Horiuchi
