It's the beginning of the Fourth of July weekend, but New York City Detective John McClane (
Bruce Willis) isn't celebrating. He's had yet another argument with his college-age daughter Lucy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and received a crushingly routine assignment to bring in a young hacker, Matt Farrell (
Justin Long), for questioning by the FBI. But for McClane, the ordinary has a habit of exploding into the extraordinary--abruptly hurtling him into the wrong place at the wrong time.
With Farrell's help, McClane slowly begins to understand the increasing chaos surrounding him. An attack is underway on the vulnerable United States infrastructure, shutting down the entire nation. The mysterious figure behind the scheme, Thomas Gabriel (
Timothy Olyphant), stays several moves ahead of McClane as he implements his incredible plans, known to uber-geeks like Farrell as a "fire sale" (as in, everything must go!)
this movie is amazing i believe this one was the best out of the series
Disappointing. The action sequences were too over the top to be believable.
Very good, though not as good as the first, but better than the second, and the third, well, i haven't seen the third, but i'm sure this one is betterb than it. The only problem that i had with this one was the fact that the stunts were way to fake, even for the die hard series... it really stept away from the now a day realistic fighting, and went to the old school, over the top action. this could be either good or bad, depending on what you like. 4 stars, respectable, go see it if you are a hard core action fan, or just looking for a descent movie to see. Great WOrk!
