Review of Live Free or Die Hard (2007) by Renzo V — 15 Sep 2014

"JOHN MCCLANE VERSUS CYBER-TERRORISTS".

- 'Die Hard 4.0' (or 'Live Free and Die Hard') is a 2007 action film by Len Wiseman (Underworld, Total Recall reboot). As the title might already suggest, this movie is the 4th installment of the popular 'Die Hard' film franchise. Action legend Bruce Willis (Pulp Fiction, the Fifth Element ) returns as John McClane. I must say I enjoyed this film. A good storyline, interesting villains and of course lots of over-the-top action scenes and special effects. Great one-liners and grumpy remarks by McClane. Co-starring: Justin Long (Jeepers Creepers, Galaxy Quest), Timothy Olyphant (Scream 2, A Perfect Getaway), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Final Destination 3, The Thing) and Maggie Q (Mission Impossible 3, Operation: Endgame). "Yippee Ki Yay Mother F*cker!".

After embarrassing his estranged daughter Lucy (Winstead) on her date, detective John McClane (Willis) is contacted by the FBI to bring in the young Matthew Farrell (Long). He is one of the many computer hackers that has been approached by a group of cyber terrorists to unknowingly help them in their plans to bring down the whole USA. The organization is lead by Thomas Gabriel (Olyphant) and his right hand, the beautiful but lethal Mai Linh (Q). What starts out as a routine assignment, turns into a intense fight for survival for John and Matthew. Can the duo stop the bad guys?
