Hello again,
Another fine day for a review on the most recent movie I saw (it was yesterday), starring Bruce Willis as the hard-as-nails cop John McLane battling the next villain in a very old fashioned way opposing to his unmatched skills with technology and computers.
The story is about a young hacker hired by some agency to write a program which will disable a security levels of another company, however it turned out that the program he wrote is a part of a bigger project to put all America into The Stone Age disabling all aspects of communications, finances and economy.
This is where our hero takes place having ordered to get the only survivor from the hackers (because the rest are dispatch pretty quickly) to be interrogated in the local police department. It has a bit of resemblance to another movie with Bruce Willis "16 blocks" (at least at the beginning), but later on the atmosphere of the series (Die Hard) is back with a vengeance and a brand new bag of explosions, bullets, crashes, fists, kicks and even black humour...
There were some minor issues (which I found disturbing at moments) like some not very good CGI effects taiking place at few points in the movie, but John McLane is a bit old and therefore is understandable that some of the stunts require some visual boosting or enhancement...
At some places the completely white smile of McLane as opossing to his bloody face full of bruises, made me laugh, but as I said before it is altogether minor complains regardding the overall quality of this fourth installment in a series which are (alongside Lethal Weapon franchise) one of the most succesfull action movies up to date...
Enjoy and have fun, all the best from hot Bulgaria ! Cheers!
