A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD

                             Even with the maga-paycheck, Bruce is having to force a smile.


Director John Moore certainly can put together some impressive scenes of destruction. But that's about all "A Good Day to Die Hard" has going for it. The heart of the film is the Big McLane/Little McLane relationship and I was thoroughly uninterested in it the entire running time. Not to mention the villains are flat out boring which is a shame as one would hope the writers would have learned to not screw up what made the first three "Die Hard" films, along with most memorable action films, enjoyable.

If you have a large home theater system this is probably worth a watch just to hear shit explode and get crushed. While not the catastrophe that is "Live Free or Die Hard" it is still pretty fucking bad. Skip it, and watch Die Hard in the White House....I mean "Olympus Has Fallen."
