Die Hard 4.0



Die Harderer: A solid, if uninspired addition to the series. The plot deviates somewhat from the standard Die Hard framework i.e. John Maclane isn't trapped, he can walk away at any point wheras int he previous films he had no option. There are no really memorable action set pieces beside the car flying into a helicopter which appears in the trailer, but some funny one liners push the whole thing above the action movie mean ("did you see that?" "I did that" etc.).

It's a bit of a barren summer for blockbusters, unimaginative sequels, tired franchises etc. the only point of light on the hollywood mega-budget horizon is the third and (supposedly) final Jason Bourne film.
