Live Free or Die Hard
So they did the usual thing of having a big flashing cursor where the password gets entered and if you want to blow up a house all you have to do is upload a virus but besides all the hollywoodification of the Haxxor side of things this is a pretty good movie. A bit cheesy in parts of course, but this is Die Hard we are talking about.
Bruce is showing his age a bit, but for all that he still drags his broken, bullet-riddled body through the movie beating anything in his path to death - leading me to surmise that the ‘Die Hard’ franchise is actually a series of zombie movies, cos seriously no-one could live through that amount of shit.
Timothy Olyphant is the bad guy and my, my hasn’t he aged well - although he appears to be channelling Tim Robbins throughout - which is still no bad thing. Justin Long (the Mac guy) isn’t bad as the side-kick and Kevin Smith is hilarious as the overweight-still-living-at-home-comic-con-loving-haxxor geek. There’s a bit of parkour, a bit of humour and a lot of explosions and fighting.
I’m not going to give away any spoilers here - because think about it, it’s Die Hard - what do you think happens? I’ll just leave you with this inspired tribute to the franchise (now with added 4th verse!)
Everybody sing:
‘We’re gonna die (die) die (die) die (die) DIE HARD
We’re gonna die (die) die (die) die (die) DIE HARD
Yippee kayay! Mother fucker!!
Yippee Kayay! Mother fucker!!’
