Live Free or Die Hard 2007

To be honest with you, I haven't watched this one since the theatrical release. It didn't really make an impact then, and...well...can't say I want to rewatch it again anytime soon.

I'm sorry Wiseman, but this isn't good enough.

Don't get me wrong, there are some good things about this movie. If you like over-the-top action, this will be right up your alley. It might even be too much at times. But hey....it's a Die Hard movie so...

Anyway...the acting is good, the action is good, and it sounds and looks good. The story, on the other hand, is a mess. It has severe pacing problems and the hacking plot didn't hold up back then, and certainly doesn't now.

Sequels are a hard one to pull off, and when you got three, rather successful, movies coming before your entry, well...you get stuff like this.

It's not that Live Free or Die Hard is so incredibly bad...it's just that very much worse than its rather excellent predecessors.

Bonus points for having Maggie Q kicking our aging heroes' ass, and being damn sexy doing it.
