Live Free or Die Hard Review

I see at least one movie every 10 days, that's an underestimate. So with that in mind I'd like to consider myself a good critic with being able to distinguish dirt from gold. I've waited for a good movie to come out that I didn't expect to be good and just blow me away this summer. I mean Pirates was awesome but I expected that, Knocked-Up was funny but who didn't see that coming. 300 was awesome with the trailer and hype leading the way though it was also expected. With that said, Die Hard was something I was looking forward to, still I mean how good could a 4th movie be about some guy who is suppose to be a hero saving the world as Bruce's age. Some how though this movie pulled it off. If you weren't blown out of your seats by the action you might have laughed your way out of it, with the perfect complementing role I have seen in ages played by Justin Long. Together Bruce and Justin are like Peanut Butter and Jelly. It may sound cheesy but never in my life have I seen a duo that could put on such a show without the weak guy being annoying as all hell, and the tough guy just going over the top with his attitude. I mean they were even better than Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. This movie also had a cool concept that most people don't realize with our government. It's not always an outside person who may attack us, and we may get attacked by one of our own strengths, technology. The villains do there thing, but aren't stupid in the ways they meet their demise. John McClane (Bruce Willis) is just a bit more experienced in this line of work, in other words his wisdom is much greater than anything they could hack.

From the get go the action is non-stop, McClane has the lovable I don't get a shit attitude. If you kill me, you kill me, but odds are I'm going to kill you first...can you honestly think of a better attitude in life, probably not. Meanwhile hacker boy Matt Farrell played by Justin Long, lives in a world of virtual reality and it's because of him that America may soon be on its knees. Justin also has the ability to bring it back to life. The journey around the the east coast let's John and Matt bond while they figure out a way to prevent things from getting worse after the villians have already shut down everything they could that involves computers. Action, Laughs, Action, Laughs, Interesting idea on the government can be attacked, Action, Laughs, Action....Damn Bruce Willis is crazy cool. That's what you will experience during this movie. I don't want to give much more away, but you will enjoy this movie. I mean sure some of the action scenes are a little over the top, but remember this is John McClane we are talking about so if you put that into consideration then anything is possible. I'm going to give this a 4.5 out of 5.....the .5 is because some of the action really is ridiculous at times. I mean why does every big action movie have to some how top the next one with some explosion that with all the bombs America has in store would still be impossible to replicate. Either way this movie ROCKS in ways you will never expect. Bruce and Justin better be working together real soon. I hope Bruce plays the PC in the next Mac commercial....yea, they were that good together.
