Review of Live Free or Die Hard (2007) by Bradley W — 30 Dec 2013

Though it's mostly entertaining (if overlong), there is a sense that the whole thing has become somewhat rote, that's not to say it's bad but it's great to see Bruce Willis back in his iconic role and he is once again brilliant and possibly one of the best things about this film.

Not everyday you get a good third sequel. An enjoyable pop projection of post-9/11 anxiety. That said, it also makes you nostalgic for the days when irresponsible action movies didn't have to deal with it this is mainly thanks to Len Wiseman who handles many of the set-pieces with flair and tension and the stunts are incredible and it's nice to see they've kept the sly humor.

Provided you don't put too much thought into it and just enjoy the ride, you'll have a blast.
