Die Hard 4.0


John McClane is back with a new brand of ass kicking in this fourth instalment of the movie. He is older, bald, has a tired expression on most of the time but he is still the same badass that just moves forward against a wave of terror. This time though, technology has caught up to him and he has to stop a gang of terrorists from hacking the government and causing chaos to a whole nation.

Yes my friends, McClane has came out from single areas (the former die hard movies were all on single locations) and out into the whole city! This movie kept me entertained from the start to the finish. The stunts were over the top and it was spectacularly done. Some scenes are quite impossible to happen in real life but that's what movies are for.

To help McClane combat this so called cyber terrorists, Matt Farrell (Justin Long), a hacker who is unceremoniously paired with him after being targeted by the same terrorists. Both of these characters were perfect for each other and their screen time together are quite entertaining to watch. Matt Farrell is the brains with his seemingly in depth knowledge on hacking but seems fragile in the physical department. However, McClane more than makes up for it as the brawn of the pair.

Timothy Olyphant plays the leader of the terrorists and I should mention that he plays a cool villain. This should be interesting since he will also play as Agent 47 in the movie adaptation of the game Hitman which will be coming out soon.

Die Hard 4.0 bleeds action from the get go and its everything I expected from the movie. The only downside is that the action is considered a little tame after watching the Transformers movie. Even so, Die Hard 4.0 is a must watch for all movie goers.
