A Good Day to Die Hard




Cast: Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney, Sebastian Koch, Yuliya Snigir
Director: John Moore
Genre: Crime, Action

A regular entertainment Die Hard series. You wont be disappointed is all i would say, irrespective of how bad the reviews are outside

Pluses:
  • Bruce Willis, is the man, but of course. This time with a little dash of humor and less serious with things. May be because its not John Mc Clane's task this time but his son's for a change :)He is more of a dad than an agent but no less in exceuting action sequences with his usual finesse
  • Jai Courtney, we havent seen much of him before. But he does his part of the job well, apart from the fact that Jr Mc Clane is not as intelligent and smart as Sr. Mc Lane is :)
  • Sebastian Koch, ohh i love bad men :) Even if they get beaten up thrashed by the end, but there is still some class about the bad men on how they confidently implement all their plans even after knowing they will fail in movies :D
  • Yuliya Snigir, a hot russian and a bad woman :) Need i say more?? :D Check her out for yourself :)
  • As far as action is concerned, i wasnt let down. However, i accept i kept my expectations low, but it did score well above the lines i drew. You do get to see some chasing squences, some car racings, choppers crashing, many bombs blowing, just as everything you require
Minuses:

There were some rumors about Honey Singh doing a number for this flick, couldnt find him anywhere :D
  

My Rating: 3/5

Awesome review Arpita. This film almost felt "forced" and it felt like there was not much thought put into it, especially the script. McClane is known for his famous one-liners but this film just goes over the top with them and repeats old ones.
