Summary: On the July 4th holiday, an attack on the vulnerable United States infrastructure begins to shut down the entire nation. The mysterious figure behind the scheme has figured out every modern angle - but he never figures on an old-school "analog" fly in the "digital" ointment. Bruce Willis is John McClane. No mask. No cape. No problem.
I don't understand this. Die Hard was just a trilogy, a great trilogy. There was no 4th film. But if there was, I probably wouldn't like it because it would turn McClane from an average Joe into a super hero, among other reasons.
If you're looking for a cerebral, Tarkovskian masterpiece, I'm afraid you got off at the wrong stop. Take it for what it is (an energetic, blue collar action flick), and you have a worthy entry in the Die Hard series. Plenty of thundering explosions for the pyrotechnics connoisseur, and plenty of memorable solo-action-set-pieces for lovers of all things McClane. Yipee ki yay motherfu--(car crash).
In a world... where everyone has been emasculated by technology, one man still has what it takes to shoot dudes the analog way. This film actually does a great job of concluding the themes from the first 3 Die Hards, but it suffers from just being plain boring and running too long.
Plays out like a technobabbly film version of 24 that happens to star John McClane. The bad guy is supremely unthreatening, employing Mac consultants and French parkour experts who are all terrible shots. Justin Long's annoying as fuck, Kevin Smith shows up in the middle of the movie to make a lame Star Wars gag and then everyone insults him for being fat. Action sequences where you're acutely aware everything McClane does is impossible and are full of CGI. Oh but it's ok, he likes Creedence.
There's one scene where Willis jumps on a harrier type jet and swings around on top of it like he's superman that's when I realized that this movie pretty much sucks. There's a few quality scenes and the production value is high but they also paired Willis up with some nerd for half the film which really dialed the quality downward a few notches from something that was weak to begin with.
