Live Free or Die Hard


Attack of the hackers!

Super-hackers who can do everything from changing traffic lights to taking down multiple government agencies take the three step plan to initiate a national disaster. All seems like action-packed fun until some incredibly ridiculous and unbelievable CGI effects. As if the CGI isn't enough to rip you out of the groove, the power the hackers have in this film surreal, everybody bleeds, but is invincible, even the risk of a 100ft elevator shaft drop our main character faces doesn't jolt us after the few previous near-death experiences.

OH WELL.

Once the madness cools down to more realistic scenes, the movie works... For a few short scenes, anyways. Yet I wonder if they brought the Bruce Willis from Unbreakable to this movie. After dodging 1000's of bullets, exiting a car at 60MPH, crashing a car into a concrete wall at 60MPH, then, oh my, did he just jump onto a JET FIGHTER?!

This movie goes from a 2 to a 1 and back to a 2 (then back to a 1) then a 3, doh, 1.
1.8/5

I thought this movie was a huge let down after the first three. Little of it was enjoyable.
