This McClane is a terrific trash!

I thought John Moore (Max Payne) was shy to call it Die Hard 5.0. What a terrific trash! It is pretty straight for any person who has watched this film. This is a bad day to even try for an action junkie out there. The mammoth sized action set pieces were cumbersome and mostly damp squib. This one neither gave me fun, nor the interest to care for the really bad father-son relationship. It is just one action after another without looking serious into the plot. So what’s the plot? I did not care , nor the director. Willis is not the McClane we saw years ago. He is old and his son Courtney has no time for building relation with his long lost father. The caption goes right, Like father, Like Son, Like Hell. Yes this is Hell. A truth we have to digest.
The truckzilla episode, the giant helicopter crash or the lot of gunfires with Yipee Kay Yay at the climax did not impress me at all. This never looked a Die Hard type. Willis probably should retire now. I am saying it perfectly. His persona of an action hero is so dim and does not bother if lifted hefty guns. His humor or the slapstick dialogues goes awry. Jai Courtney on the other side, No not a perfect son and neither a perfect cast. The big mammoth trouble in this is the villain. Where is the villain every Die Hard film has? Holy trouble McClane, you have faced the easiest villain of your career. Where is that dialogue on the face of the director? This is an action film that loses control and goes hell bad.
Damp squib, holy trash for godsake! Please McClane I want you back. To sum it up it is an awful sequel. Did I mention a sequel? That’s what public get through after entering the theatre, but!!!!
