Live Free Or Die Hard (2007) 8/10


Live Free Or Die Hard is the fourth film in the Die Hard series and quite possibly the most action packed.

Enter John McClain NYPD detective and resident ass kicker. He's older now and divorced trying to deal with a daughter that no longer loves him. Tech terrorists decide to shut off all the electricity in greater east coast and begin stealing from all the electronic bank accounts. It's up to McClain and a young hacker to stop the bad guys and save the day.

The film runs 2+ hours but never drags. The action is constant and satisfying. McClain kicks a whole lot of ass and kills many bad guys. Awesome. The stunt scenes are great, even the ones done with CGI. It's a shame this didn't do better at the box office but it came out the week before Transformers and really didn't stand a chance against that hype machine.

Great fun flick that reminds us all of the glorious action packed hairy chested body count action flicks of the 80s.

Overall - 8/10
