"A Good Day to Die Hard" - starring Bruce Willis & Jai Courtney
"A Good Day to Die Hard" is the latest installment in the Die Hard series, this being number 5. This installment follows John McClane (Bruce Willis) to Russia to help his estranged son (Jai Courtney) get out of jail, only to discover that his son is a CIA operative who is attempting to foil a terrorist plot. With few other options, the two of them team up to foil the plot & save the world. IMO, this was easily the weakest movie in the Die Hard series. While their was plenty of action and crashes to keep the action fans happy, much of it really stretched credulity. McClane was crashing cars, being flung from a helicopter, flying through windows and dropping hundreds of feet through the air with nary scratch or broken bone, it's as if he had morphed into David Dunn, the Willis character in "Unbreakable" somewhere along the line. Willis seemed to phone this one in too, lots of quips and smirks but he was a bit wooden and his heart didn't seem into it. My advice, wait for the DVD.
I give it 2 out of 5 stars (*****).
