A Good Day to Die Hard review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 05/01/13
Overloaded action sequences with more explosions and car crashes. Lacks the depth for the father and son McLane's, antagonist was not as terrorizing enough unlike the previous installments. The lines tried to be cute and funny while the drama in certain scenes were out of place. Having a huge budget and popular star cannot be suffice to make a good movie. If the Bourne series had Bourne Legacy, then this was the equivalent for the Die Hard franchise. Lacks the charm of John McLane, one man army barrage and a son who easily transform just because his long lost dad converses with him again. Even the twists on the bad guys was a bit too much since the plot just revoled around a silly file that wasn't given enough information to its viewer to make it vital to the story. Typical eye candy for action buffs, dull in certain sequences, and Jai Courtney doesn't have it to be a McLane.
