system breaks down and chaos
ensues
Review:
As long as you understand that "Live Free or Die Hard" is
nothing more or less than a three-ring festival of intricate
stunts and pyrotechnic effects, punctuated with clown
routines, you may not mind that it's about a half-hour
longer than it needs to be...

Spotlight Review
"Predictable, unbelievable, and clichéd is how I’d ultimately describe
the latest Die Hard in the franchise. But it’s not all bad."
Review by Peter Veugelaers Special to EntertainmentNutz
Underneath the façade
of box office statistics which seem to tell us people watch movies with
conflicted and negative scenarios there is a side to people which
prefers positive scenarios. People watch movies like Titanic, a
bloated overstated negative, and others with reminders of life’s down
points, as a result of hyped expectations through marketing movies to
emotionally attached and hungry audiences...
Willis
has no trouble convincing that he's still capable of handling heavy
action Todd McCarthy: Variety
Tone careens madly from serious peril to action camp and
everything in between, but the sheer quantity of often outrageous stunts
should help overcome franchise mustiness...more
In
this fourth film, there's a zip to the dialogue and a lift
to the storytelling that recalls the spark of the original
'88 Die Hard James Hebert: San Diego Union
Tribune
The way the jaded McClane and the idealistic Farrell play off
each other is what makes the movie...more
Willis
is still the irrepressible smart-aleck, who knows just what
to say to stoke the slow-burning rage of a sneering,
homicidal villain Gene Seymour: Newsday
As long as you understand that "Live Free or Die Hard" is
nothing more or less than a three-ring festival of intricate
stunts and pyrotechnic effects, punctuated with clown
routines, you may not mind that it's about a half-hour
longer than it needs to be...more
