Die hard delivered all the usual explosive fun that you
would expect, some may say a little too much, it was non stop from beginning to
end bar an approximately 30 second interlude for a cheesefest dialogue between father
and son, which dragged on a little bit in my honest opinon.
However this relentless barrage of gratuitous violence and ambitious
stunts is what makes it great; although due to all the explosions it may be
easy to miss the catchphrase, but it’s slipped in there for sure, listen
carefully during the epically idealistic helicopter scene!
In fact most of the action takes place in vehicles,
particular Mercedes, (…wonder who sponsored this film… nope beats me….) as an older lady said when walking out; “there
was just a little bit too much of the car stuff and things going bang”, sums it
up perfectly really, although I think she may have been saying it negatively…
Plus it is now justifiable to fancy John Mcclane, albeit
John Jr! Jai Courtney, an upcoming Australian actor, was the ideal choice as
John Mcclane’s son not just because he was as hot as the action but because you
can almost believe he’s got what it takes to carry on the saga and pull it off but
with a new sexy edge, as blatantly this has to be Bruceys last one, or at least
as the lead protagonist, sad but realistic, at least he’s gone with a bang.
Go see this if you like sarcastic comments, cheesy action, and
menacing carrot crunching.
