Live Free or Die Hard

Live Free or Die Hard? Yippie Kai-yeah Mother F**ker. Oh and by the way while we are living free and dieing hard we are gonna blow up an entire city block... or three... take down the US of A and demonstrate what it means when you say 'lets blow some shit up'.

In the past few years, aging police officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) has spent his time in and out of Alcoholics Anonymous and is divorced from his wife. He is no longer employed by the police department, but has found a position with the United States Department of Homeland Security chasing dangerous computer hackers. On his way to turn a young hacker named Matt Foster (Justin Long) into custody, he experiences a modern version of a terrorist attack first hand when he gets stuck in traffic. A group of hackers, headed by Greg Pope (Timothy Olyphant), have struck at the vulnerable United States computer infrastructure and are systematically shutting it down, beginning with the traffic light system.

As they move on to crash banking networks and the stock market, the indices plummet and America's economy becomes crippled. As usual, McClane gets caught up in the middle of the excitement. It turns out that the recently captured Matt seems bright enough to understand exactly what the terrorists are doing and what steps they are taking to achieve their mission. The sophisticated criminals have a nearly foolproof plan to bring the country to a halt, but they didn't count on an old-school cop and his computer-smart buddy to figure things out. Soon, the crime-fighting duo of McClane and Foster are pulling out all the stops and matching wits with the terrorists, hoping to figure out the motives behind their actions and to stop them before the entire nation collapses.

Live Free or Die Hard is a balls out movie with action from the opening credits to the closing sequences. There is no choregraphed epic fight scenes, there are no well thought out lengthy banters between the good guy and the bad guy. This is a Die Hard movie. John McClane takes names, kicks asses and blows up just about everything you could possibly want to blow up in a movie. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of fights, and there is some great choregraphed scenes but its not the big build up to the epic hero. Its John McClane kicking ass and taking names in his own unique style. You wanna show me your pretty kung fu? Let me introduce you to Smith & Wesson. Your some bad ass mercenary with an attack chopper? Let me introduce you to my police car of flaming death. When it comes to explosions and some seriously INSANE action Live Free or Die Hard has pushed it to the limits. It has one of the coolest car chase scenes EVER put to film.

Its been a long time since we have had some Die Hard action and let me tell you Live Free or Die Hard lives up to the title. It is easily the best in the franchise and Bruce Willis has brought new life to the character which is easily one of my all time favorites. A new band of characters of course join him including his lovely daughter who is a chip off the old block, and a computer hacker. Throw away the cliches, the pointless gun fights and the long drawn out 'im the bad guy your the good guy' B.S. In this movie the bad guys are being bad, and John McClane has a bullet, monkey wrench, exploding police car and so much more to thank them for visiting with.

If you like intense action you can really get into with witty dialogue and fantastic characters checkout Live Free or Die Hard. This is easily one of the most action packed films of the year.
