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

Live Free or Die Hard September 6, 2008
I loved this movie, saw it at the theatre and enjoyed the fast paced action and the way the title character has not changed his attitude. The supporting cast were believable and the action sequences well filmed. Storyline was also fast paced and there was no down time at all it was like the others just go, go, go. Four stars from me.
 McClane-Palin in 2008 September 1, 2008
I miss the good old days of action flicks when they were helmed by great directors like McTiernan, Cameron, and Harlan and you had average Joes like Bruce, Arnold, and Sly saving the world. Everything today is so CGI. About the only actor today that meets the standards of yesteryear is Jason Statham. The latest installment of "Die Hard" has it's cake and eats it too. For sure there's alot of CGI but Willis makes you believe that he's getting his butt kicked by a Harrier. The story combines post-911 paranoia, cyber-warfare, and old fashioned shoot-em-up in comvincing fashion. The action in this flick never lets up. In the center is Willis returning to the John McClane character like a favorite old shirt not unlike Harrison Ford in the recent Indiana Jones film. So have your soda and popcorn or as McClane would have it a beer and hot dog and enjoy the fireworks.
 Unnecessary Sequel!! August 23, 2008
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I really wish they'd stop making sequels of movies from long ago. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Clerks II, Rambo, Rocky Balboa, Hannibal Rising, etc. It's nice to relive those old movies as they were and let the characters fade into the legendary status they deserve. By coming out with yet another movie N years later, you might get excited about it (Hulk comes to mind, as does Spider-Man). But unlike those decently made films, Live Free Or Die Hard is a great example of keeping the classics in the past where they belong.
I loved the Die Hard series. The first 3 movies were great! The 3rd being my favorite. But this newest (and HOPEFULLY last) installment is just unnecessary. Nobody wanted to see John McClain again, more than 10 years after his last adventure in NYC. This movie might as well have been another movie completely, taking McClain out of it and just substituting Bruce Willis' character for anyone else...it wouldn't have made a difference.
The storyline was great, ALMOST believable. But most of the particular scenes were just completely unreal. Throughout most of the movie I was screaming at the screen "there's no way that would happen!" Particularly the action sequences with Bruce Willis barely making it out of a situation. Not to mention that he looked awful with a shaved head. Why can't men go bald gracefully??
If you think of it as anything BUT a Die Hard movie, you might enjoy it. I just can't add this to my already mint collection.
Bruce at it again August 17, 2008
Bruce Willis is at it again in the fourth entry of the "Die Hard" movies.
To be brief. Some things are done excellently,,,such as dialog and of course the stunts. But as with anything when trying to up the ante for the fourth time some things are not up to excellence. Some of the characters and some of the situations are blah blah.
Bottom line...a good movie to own, and see over again.
Your basic sequel but as good as the original! August 16, 2008
This movie is another in a line of sequels to Die Hard. This movie could continue with as many sequels as they want and I would watch them. Bruce Willis is HOT! I love him when he is dirty and sweaty. He is a believable common man hero. He doesn't go through mud and dirt and fighting and in the next scene be squeaky clean. The price is great and I was pleased with the unrated version.
