Twelve years after Die Hard with a Vengeance, the third and previous film in the Die Hard franchise, Live Free or Die Hard finds John McClane (Bruce Willis) a few years older, not any happier, and just as kick-ass as ever. Right after he has a fight with his college-age daughter (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), a call comes in to pick up a hacker (Justin Long, a.k.a. the "Apple guy") who might help the FBI learn something about a brief security blip in their systems. Now any Die Hard fan knows that this is when the assassins with foreign accents and high-powered weaponry show up, telling McClane that once again he's stumbled into an assignment that's anything but routine. Once that wreckage has cleared, it is revealed that the hacker is only one of many hackers who are being targeted for extermination after they helped set up a "fire sale," a three-pronged cyberattack designed to bring down the entire country by crippling its transportation, finances, and utilities. That plan is now being put into action by a mysterious team (Timothy Olyphant, Deadwood, and Maggie Q, Mission: Impossible 3) that seems to be operating under the government's noses. Live Free or Die Hard uses some of the cat-and-mouse elements of Die Hard with a Vengeance along with some of the pick-'em-off-one-by-one elements of the now-classic original movie. And it's the most consistently enjoyable installment of the franchise since the original, with eye-popping stunts (directed by Len Wiseman of the Underworld franchise), good humor, and Willis's ability to toss off a quip while barely alive. There was some controversy over the film's PG-13 rating--there might be less blood than usual, and McClane's famous tag line is somewhat obscured--but there's still has plenty of action and a high body count. Yippee-ki-ay! --David Horiuchi

***BEWARE*** Region A Only... February 7, 2010 Hans As (NY, USA) Though i still rate this as 2 Star for Amazon Super Saver Shipping and fast delivery. But the BD only works for Region A console. Though, i have bought a lot of BD at Amazon and this is the only BD and Fantastic Four were i can't watch this BD in my PS3. Attention message showing that this movie is encoded to Region A console. So you have been warned.

movie good but blu ray is wack! February 2, 2010 R. Laryea (knightdale,nc) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
this movie is actually good, the unrated version is off the mf hook! HOWEVER the blu ray that the studio delivers DOES NOT HAVE THE UNRATED VERSION THIS IS INCREDIBLY WACK!! HOW CAN YOU PUT THE UNRATED VERSION ON DVD BUT NOT ON THE BLU RAY THAT IS A BIG RIP OFF!!! WACK WACK WACK WACK WACK!!!
WOULD'VE KILLED FOR THE UNRATED VERSION ON BLURAY January 29, 2010 Justin Moses (Arlington, wa) SPOILER:
Don't get me wrong, this was an excellent action film. It has everything: Guns, Helicopters, car-chases, car-chases down elevators, French Ninjas, and one bald man. But the unrated version is simply the way the film was supposed to be. For anyone who has watched ANY of the Die Hard's, you know that the film needs to be rife with M*****F*****'s (which have been editted out, EVEN AT THE CLIMAX! I almost yelled at my TV)
I am hoping for an Unrated Blu-Ray version of this movie.
Willis returns with mixed results. January 25, 2010 Brian Nallick (Mpls, MN) For me the series peaked with DH3.
One and two were fun but part 3 will always be my favorite.
So now we come back to another Die Hard.
And.....
Meh, it was ok.
It was decent just nothing remarkable.
The acting, directing, explosions, etc....all get a passing grade.
But why do I get the feeling I've been here before?
Because....we have.
Been there, done that. I think it would have been better with special appearances by Van Dam or Steven Seagal(pure sarcasm).
What was bad?
Well....nothing really, it's just too much of a rehash of what we've seen a million times already.
If you're a big fan of the DH series than yeah I'll recommend a rental.
If you're new to this franchise the logical thing to do would be to start with the first one.
If you only want to see the best film of the franchise I say go with part 3 but that's just me.
DH4 comes....
Sort of recommended.
Yippee Ki No, old man! January 19, 2010 Poet 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Who would have believed that die hard will actually fall so hard? Apart from the beautiful sexy kicking butt Maggie Q this movie was worthless. In fact, the movie was so pathetic that on a certain point I really wished that Maggie Q would have finished geriatric Bruce Willis off with a kick to the head while shouting `Yippee Ki No, old man!', if the movie ended then, it would have been a great success, no doubt. The makers of this film did not give a damn about the quality of it; obviously, their sole intention was to cash in on the low level action-hungry masses. The script was nearly as bad as the acting. I must admit, the movie was so pathetic that at some points I thought it was a comedy. I truly laughed at the hero's exceedingly over-exerted phony expressions when he drove that huge truck. No truck driver will ever make such stupid faces no matter what. The worst part of this film though was the selection of the villain. I guess the greedy producers of this film could not afford a real villain so they hired this pathetic excuse of a crook. On the other hand they've spent so much money on commercials and advertisement, so it would appear that money was not the issue. The money hoarding film mafia made the villain of this film sophisticated, highly intelligent technologically, slick and smooth externally, yet, it still did not compensate for his lack of character. Boringly enough, he was rendered a real breakfast for the experienced avatar, John McClane. Moreover, the monotonic text, the corny jokes, the trivial bleeding, and the predictable end have all added to the hard fall of this film. This movie was an absolute disaster. One dilemma occupying the viewers mind constantly had to do with the following question `who was dafter? Was it the hi-tech genius amateur villain? Or was it the hot blooded John McClain? Those two should have acted in the sequel of dumb and dumber instead! Either way this led to another paradox: `Who was the real villain?' I call it `The Steven Seagal Paradox', because in all of Seagls' movies the viewer gets the impression that Steven Seagal is the biggest villain of them all. Here, in this pathetic film, we hate the hero so much because of his lame acting, and because he is willing to sacrifice his own daughter so easily, that we think he is the villain. Then, the real villain is depicted as a victim, like a confused high school rascal who had burnt down the school by mistake. So the viewer is kind of confused. And then there is the good looking Maggie Q. who can really kick some butt, now she cannot be the villain, not because the ordinary male viewer is falling in love with her, but because she is the only one who is really doing her job in this film by acting properly! The viewer admires her and does not want her to die because she is the only one who makes the movie seem professional. So who is the real villain? The intelligent viewer knows that the real villains of this film are the producers of it. But hey, what do they care, the producers laugh at the intelligent viewer's face because he is in the minority. The majority of the viewers are like cattle, give them some real dirty grass full of manure and they will consume it no matter what, for they are hungry and desperate for cheap action. They would even miss on a WWF show for something else with blood in it. Just give some variety for the beast! For me, this movie was somewhat a comedy to watch, I am going to laugh a lot when I'll read the 4 and 5 stars reviews later on. Sadly, there are many of them here on Amazon. Moreover it solves the mystery, now I know why the film mafia is making so many bad sequels, because they are getting both credit and money for it. The stupidity of the masses has never ceased to amaze me. This action movie is so bad that it makes Steven Seagal's films worthy to watch. The exaggeration of allowing a fighter plane to shoot a civilian truck driver is a big insult even to the Russian secret service, for no one has such power in democratic countries. But was this movie democratic? I doubt it; the way I see it this movie was produced by the money mafia known as the bad sequel totalitarian dictatorship. If they will make another sequel for this crappy film I'd believe all those religious freaks walking around the streets like zombies with a sign saying `The end is nigh' or `It's the end of the world'. Frankly, making this movie is the end of the world; that is the end of the world of action films. All in all this disappointing film gets two stars from me, because of Maggie Q. I added another star to it. Aye; she has earned her keep. They should make a film where she is the heroine, not a shadow of a fragile insecure villain.
