Live Free Or Die Hard
When an attack on the vulnerable United States infrastructure begins to shut down the entire nation over the Fourth of July weekend, New York City Detective McClane uses his old-school ways to frustrate the hi-tech hacker. It's the beginning of the holiday, but New York City Detective McClane isn't celebrating. He's had yet another argument with his college-age daughter Lucy, and received a crushingly routine assignment to bring in a young hacker, Matt Farrell, for questioning by the FBI.

Ultimately, a passable new Die Hard movie is more than anyone of us ever really expected, and that in itself is worth a jolly old Yippee-Ki-Ay.March 29, 2011
Live Free or Die Hard needs a sense of joy, a sense that despite the harrowing nature of the situation, there is something entertaining - even to the participants - about the absurdity of the situation ... it doesn't have that.June 18, 2012
Though it's mostly entertaining (if overlong), there is a sense that the whole thing has become somewhat rote.April 28, 2014
It's an over-the-top spectacle of action violence, and I loved it.August 14, 2012
Brainless? Sure. Entertaining? Yup.November 28, 2007
An enjoyable pop projection of post-9/11 anxiety. That said, it also makes you nostalgic for the days when irresponsible action movies didn't have to deal with it.February 12, 2013
Provided you don't put too much thought into it and just enjoy the ride, you'll have a blast.November 17, 2011
Len Wiseman handles many of the set-pieces with flair and tension.July 31, 2007
What's the fourth "Die Hard" called? I keep forgetting. "Die Hard: With a Pension"? "Die Hardened Arteries"? "Die Laughing"?July 15, 2007
Movie characters like McClane are the Paul Bunyans and John Henrys and Pecos Bills of our age, the stuff of tall tales spun with the technology of an age whose campfires are found in multiplexes with stadium seating.January 04, 2008
The bad guys' omnipotence at nearly every turn dilutes the film's suspense.October 18, 2008
It's not remotely plausible, but with Willis' McClane leaping onto the tailfins of passing jet fighters and bringing down helicopters by launching police cars at them, there's enough stuff blowing up that action fans won't mind much.
